Abstrakt: For the isolation of gene space representative sequence elements, a new methodology—high C+G patch (HCGP) filtration—has been developed using rice as a model. The method is based on the fragmentation of the genomic DNA by methylation-sensitive HpaII and MspI restriction endonucleases having exclusively G/C base pair-containing recognition sites. These enzymes fragment the genome at high C+G content and hypomethylated regions. Cloning fragments spanning such regions in close vicinity (200–2,000 bp) revealed that about 60% of the clones represented gene space sequences resulting in twofold enrichment of these sequences, which is close to the theoretical maximum in rice.
