Protocol

Microdissection of Drosophila Polytene Chromosomes for DOP-PCR

Adapted from Drosophila Protocols (ed. Sullivan et al.). CSHL Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA, 2000.

Abstract

This protocol describes a method for the microdissection of Drosophila polytene chromosomes. The microdissected DNA can be amplified by degenerate oligonucleotide primed-polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) and then used to prepare probes for fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH).
