Human metaphase chromosomes, fixed on slides, have been treated with 8 different restriction endonucleases and 29 combinations of 2 restriction enzymes prior to staining with Giemsa. The endonucleases AluI and DdeI and the combinations AluI + DdeI, AluI + HaeIII, AluI + HinfI, and AluI + MboI have then been used to digest metaphase chromosomes of nine individuals with C-band variants of chromosomes 1 or 9, obtained by the CBG technique. The restriction enzyme resistant chromatin of the paracentromeric regions of chromosomes 1 and 9 has been measured and compared with the corresponding CBG-bands. The size of the enzyme resistant chromatin regions depend upon the type of enzyme(s) used. Treatment with AluI + MboI was the only digestion that acted differently on different chromosome pairs. However, within one pair of homologous chromosomes, all digestions revealed the same variations as conventional C-banding.Key words: C-band variants, heterochromatin, human chromosomes, restriction endonucleases.

An important approach of therapy the target gene sequence causes diseases via repair/recombine the mutated gene (gene transfer) using a restriction enzymes in the laboratory. This approach will cause multiple problems happening accompany to biological laboratory if ruled out problems outside of it like the digested DNA ran as a smear on an agarose gel, incomplete restriction enzyme digestion, extra bands in the gel, etc. The paper suggested new approach of therapy via repair/replacement mutated gene caused disease by detecting primers and finding restriction enzymes using bioinformatics tools, software, packages etc. then achieving the repair/ recombine of mutations before going to the biologic lab (out-lab) to avoid the problems associated these laboratories. Implement and apply this a proposed therapy approach on TP53 gene (which caused more than 50% of human cancers) and after confirming there is mutations on P53 tumor protein shows an effective cost, friendly therapy methodology and comprehensive.

Isolation of the terminal portions of genomic DNA cloned in bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) is an important step in map-based cloning, and several methods have been developed. Here, we present a new method based on double-restriction-enzyme digestion followed by anchored PCR. BAC DNA was digested with two enzymes: NotI and one of four enzymes (EcoRV, HpaI, StuI, or XmnI) that produce blunt termini. After dephosphorylation, these digestions were ligated to NotI- and EcoRV-digested pMSK, a new cloning vector developed in this work that is derived from pBluescript SK(+). PCR products representing the left- and right-terminal sequences of BAC inserts were obtained using a primer complementary to pMSK and a primer complementary to sequences in either the left arm or the right arm of the BAC vector pBeloBAC11. We have tested this method with 15 different BAC clones, and PCR products representing both the left- and right-terminal sequences have been obtained from all 15 BAC clones. This method is simple, fast, reproducible, and uses the same set of primers for any restriction enzyme used. With some modifications, it can also be used for isolating the terminal portions of genomic DNA cloned in yeast artificial chromosomes and P1-derived artificial chromosomes. Key words: BAC, anchored PCR, terminal sequence isolation, chromosome walk.
