While replication fork collisions with DNA adducts can induce double strand breaks, less is known about the interaction between replisomes and blocking lesions. We have employed the proximity ligation assay to visualize these encounters and to characterize the consequences for replisome composition.

This protocol investigates the heterochromatin distribution in eight populations of Lycoris aurea (L′Her) Herb, using combined PI and DAPI chromosome staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S-5.8-26S rRNA gene regions (45S rDNA regions), and 5S ribosomal DNA probes.
