A method for analyzing large DNA which makes it possible to obtain spatial information on the positions of specific sequences along a DNA molecule has been developed. Making use of the fact that large DNA molecules are stably elongated under an alternating-current field in a concentrated linear polymer solution, the direct observation of elongated individual lambda DNA molecules with fluorescence probes was carried out using fluorescence microscopy. The spatial positions of the fluorescent spots of the probe (fluorescence-labeled restriction endonuclease EcoRI) on DNA molecules were determined by image analysis. As expected, fluorescent spots of EcoRI were observed at certain positions on lambda DNA, where sequences to which EcoRI binds are located. Finally, the potential application of single large DNA molecule analysis using this DNA-stretching method is discussed.
