Abstract:
A DNA probe set, said probe set comprising a first probe set and a second probe set,said first probe set being sufficient in length and substantially complementary to an entire breakpoint region of a first DNA and nucleotides on both sides of the breakpoint region but less than an entire chromosome such that said first probe set will hybridize to both sides of the breakpoint region regardless of whether the first DNA has been broken in the breakpoint region and either end fused to another DNA, and said second probe set being sufficient in length and substantially complementary to an entire breakpoint region of a second DNA and nucleotides on both sides of the breakpoint region but less than an entire chromosome such that said second probe set will hybridize to both sides of the breakpoint region regardless of whether the second DNA has been broken in the breakpoint region and either end fused to another DNA.
