Abstract:
In accordance with the objects outlined above, the present invention provides methods of diagnosing individuals at risk for a disease state which results in aberrant Rad51 loci. The methods comprise determining the distribution of Rad51 foci in a first tissue type of a first individual, and then comparing the distribution to the distribution of Rad51 foci from a second normal tissue type from the first individual or a second unaffected individual. A difference in the distributions indicates that the first individual is at risk for a disease state which results in aberrant Rad51 loci. Preferred disease states include cancer and disease states associated with apoptosis.

The methods comprise determining the distribution of Rad51 foci in a first tissue type of a first individual, and then comparing the distribution to the distribution of Rad51 foci from a second normal tissue type from the first individual or a second unaffected individual. A difference in the distributions indicates that the first individual is at risk for a disease state which results in aberrant Rad51 loci. Preferred disease states include cancer and disease states associated with apoptosis. In an additional aspect, the present invention provides methods for identifying apoptotic cells and cells under stress associated with nucleic acid modification. The methods comprise determining the distribution of Rad51 foci in a first cell, and comparing the distribution to the distribution of Rad51 foci from a second non-apoptotic cell. A difference in the distributions indicates that the first cell is apoptotic or under stress.

Abstract:
A stable, single-stranded nucleoprotein filament adapted to complex specifically and stably with a target duplex DNA having a selected base sequence. The filament is composed of a single-stranded DNA probe having a region of homology with the target base sequence, and RecA protein bound stably to the DNA probe by adenosine 5'-(. gamma. -thio)triphosphate. The filament is useful in a novel system and method for enriching target duplex DNA which contains a region homologous to the probe sequence, for blocking selected restriction endonuclease sites in the target DNA, and in other DNA methodologies in which stable rapid triple-strand synaptic formation in duplex DNA can be exploited.
