The lengths of fragments covering a fixed marker in randomly cut linear or circular DNA
1979
Litwin, S.
A linear DNA molecule may be labelled at a fixed locus by a minute complementary radioactive molecule. A collection of identical molecules is to be so labelled and each one independently cut at a random number, N, of random places, X (N Poisson, X uniform). Fragments containing the label are to be collected and assayed by length. It is shown that the recovery pattern (fragment length distribution) contains a jump discontinuity at the fixed locus and may be used to determine the distance between the attachment site and the nearest end of the molecule. The recovery pattern under the hypothesis that the collection of molecules are circularly permuted, i.e. the labelled locus is uniformly distributed over the length of the molecule, does not contain such discontinuities. The case where the labelling molecule has a non-negligible extent is also treated.
