Molecular combing represents an advanced method for preparing extended DNA fibres. It enables uniform and parallel stretching of hundreds of DNA molecules on a glass surface, at an unprecedented resolution of two kilobase pairs per micrometre. When coupled with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), molecular combing allows the direct visualisation of genomic structure and copy number variation, as well as the quantification of sizes of overlap and gap between sequence contigs in the genome assembly. Here we present a multicolor fibre-FISH protocol using DNA fibres prepared by molecular combing.
