Abstract:
Electron microscopic techniques have been applied to the study of all aspects of structure, function and organization of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Today these powerful methods are mainly used in determining sequence relationships of large DNA molecules and in structural studies of nucleic acid-protein complexes. Some recent applications in the analysis of prokaryotic genomes are discussed.
