PMAP, PMAPS: DNA physical map constructing programs
Department of Genetics, Attila Joózsef University 6726 Szeged, Középlasor 52, Hungary
Received July 27, 1983. Computer programs are described, which facilitate the construction of the restriction site (physical) map of DNA molecules. By knowing the length of each fragment and its degree of error in the single and the double restriction enzyme digestions, the programs give all the possibilities for the physical map. This method is applicable to linear DNA molecules. Several examples are presented which indicate the high efficiency of the programs in constructing restriction site maps for the 62 Kb chromosome of bacteriophage 163. We have constructed complex maps. (i.e. Eco RI map with 16 and Eco RV with II fragments).
