Abstract
The present invention provides a method for producing a circular DNA molecule having a specific structure that enables to distinguish circular DNA formed from a single DNA molecule (single-molecule circular DNA), from circular DNA formed from multiple DNA molecules (multiple-molecule circular DNA) and also from single-molecule circular DNA derived from the circular DNA formed from multiple DNA molecules. According to the present invention, only single-molecule circular DNA that is not derived from multiple-molecule circular DNA can be selected in the production of circular DNA.
