DNA FISH on metaphase spreads of the E20 cell line showing hybridization signal for PDGFRA (red) and CDK4 (green).

Scale bar = 10 μm. (A) Metaphase spread representative of most cells with PDGFRA and CDK4 clearly on separate extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNAs). (B) Metaphase spread showing an example, representative of approximately 10% of cells where PDGFRA and CDK4 of signals are juxtaposed, suggesting that both oncogenes are located on the same ecDNA. Scale bar = 10 μm. Insets a and b are shown zoomed in below (scale bar 1 μm). Note these are representative images of metaphase spreads where both oncogenes were located on ecDNA – we observed many metaphases with primarily CDK4 ecDNA and few/no PDGFRA ecDNA. Subsequent interphase nuclei were therefore only imaged if >20 CDK and >20 PDGFRA foci to ensure ecDNA of both were present, and to allow Ripley’s K analysis.
