title: DNA strandness changes during in situ hybridization conditions.
abstract: DNA strandness changes occurring during in situ hybridization were monitored using monoclonal antibodies. Our results show that: 1) RNase induces formation of single stranded DNA, 2) after denaturation-renaturation, single stranded DNA is found principally in centromeric areas, and 3) double stranded DNA is still observed after each step.
