A procedure is described to rapidly prepare radioactively labeled DNA inserts from crude recombinant plasmid DNA preparations. These probes can subsequently be used to identify homologous nucleotide sequences in bacteria containing recombinant plasmids by colony hybridization. In a single procedure, crude recombinant plasmid DNA is both 32P-labeled and fragmented by nick-translation in the presence of sufficient pancreatic DNase I to produce radioactive DNA of about 0.2-0.3-kb single-strand length. At this DNA fragment length the majority of the vector and insert sequences are on different DNA fragments. The insert DNA can then be separated from vector and contaminating Escherichia coli host chromosomal DNA by the following method. The DNA fragment population is first denatured and renatured under conditions such that the recombinant plasmid DNA reassociates but host DNA does not. The renatured plasmid DNA fragments are separated from the denatured host DNA by hydroxylapatite chromatography. The plasmid DNA fragments are then denatured and renatured with an excess of insert-free vector DNA. Conditions are chosen such that the insert DNA remains single-stranded while the vector DNA becomes double-stranded. The single-stranded insert DNA can be separated from the double-stranded vector DNA on hydroxylapatite and used directly for colony hybridization.
