Algorithms for the restriction-site mapping of DNA molecules.
نویسنده
چکیده
Two algorithms are described that rapidly construct restriction maps of DNA molecules from single- and double-digest data. The implementation of these algorithms into the Pascal programs AMAPK and AMARD allows such mapping to be done on microcomputers.

Modeling of Partial Digest Problem as a Network flows problem
Restriction Site Mapping is one of the interesting tasks in Computational Biology. A DNA strand can be thought of as a string on the letters A, T, C, and G. When a particular restriction enzyme is added to a DNA solution, the DNA is cut at particular restriction sites. The goal of the restriction site mapping is to determine the location of every site for a given enzyme. In partial digest metho...
متن کاملOptical mapping of site-directed cleavages on single DNA molecules by the RecA-assisted restriction endonuclease technique.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) resolution has advanced because newer techniques use increasingly decondensed chromatin. FISH cannot analyze restriction enzyme cutting sites due to limitations of the hybridization and detection technologies. The RecA-assisted restriction endonuclease (RARE) technique cleaves chromosomal DNA at a single EcoRI site within a given gene or selected sequen...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as applied to detection of a foreign DNA in clinical specimens could provide a sensitive instrument for rapid detection of viral DNA persisting in tissues of patients suspected of latent infection. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA was found in arterial plaques of patients with atherosclerotic lesions using a PCR assay with nested primer oligonucleotides ...
متن کاملFast Approximate Matching in Restriction Site Mapping
This paper presents a trie data structure for fast approximate matching of DNA fragments in a large scale restriction mapping project. It analyzes several parameters that aaect the performance of the data structure and brieey explores strategies on how it might be used and how to proceed in the initial stages of potential algorithms for mapping. The paper then reports on experimental results an...
متن کاملElectric field-mediated gene transfer: characterization of DNA transfer and patterns of integration in lymphoid cells.
Southern analysis of individual transfectants generated by electroporation demonstrated a strong preference for the integration of DNA in low copy number even when electroporation was performed in the presence of increasing DNA concentrations. Although transfer of multiple DNA copies was detected at higher DNA concentrations (16 pmoles/ml or greater), the average gene copy number even at 36 pmo...
