Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) is a method which allows the detection of genetic differences between two DNA samples. It is based on the endlabeling of rare cutting restriction sites and the separation of these fragments by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. 1 RLGS profiles display over 2000 fragments, or" spots," having intensities which correlate with the copy number of the particular sequence. Most of the rare cutting restriction enzymes used in RLGS possess GC-rich recognition sequences that are mainly found in CpG-islands in mammalian genomes. CpG islands are located in the 5'regulatory regions of all known housekeeping genes and 40% of tissue-specific genes. 2'3 Thus, RLGS profiles are strongly biased towards the display of sequences located in the vicinity of genes, rather than random genomic DNA fragments. In humans, RLGS has been used by several groups for the detection of genetic and epigenetic changes which accompany human tumorigenesis. 4'5 An essential step in RLGS analysis is the cloning of DNA sequences corresponding to RLGS spots in order to identify genes affected by the specific alteration. Several RLGS spot cloning procedures have been described and are based on either a restriction trapper purification of genomic DNA to reduce the amount of unlabeled background fragments, 6 or involve the ligation of adaptor sequences to the ends of the spot DNA followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 7 or a combination of the two methods. 5 However, the size of RLGS spot clones
