A nucleic acid sample processing method comprises a) hybridizing a sample comprising a target fragment to a nucleic acid probe comprising: i. a head sequence and a tail sequence at the ends of a first oligonucleotide molecule; and ii. a splint sequence comprising, in order: an upstream flanking sequence that is complementary to the head sequence; a target sequence that is complementary to the target fragment; and a downstream flanking sequence that is complementary to the tail sequence; thereby producing a hybridization product in which the target fragment ends are adjacent to the ends of the head and tail sequences in the first oligonucleotide molecule; and b) ligating the ends of the target fragment to the ends of the head and tail sequences of the first oligonucleotide molecule, thereby producing a cyclic product that comprises the target fragment and the head and tail sequences. Alternatively claimed are probes for binding two or more different human chromosomes. |
