Restriction mapping is a method used to map an unknown segment of DNA by breaking it into pieces and then identifying the locations of the breakpoints. This method relies upon the use of proteins ...

Optical mapping is a powerful genetic identification tool that so far has been limited to lower organisms. Now a USC-led team of computational biologists has made the method practical for human ...

Phylogenetic relationships in the family Onagraceae were assessed using ribosomal DNA restriction site mapping. Sixty-five restriction sites were detected among 11 species of Onagraceae (one each of ...

A mathematical discovery has extended the reach of a novel genome mapping method to humans, potentially giving cancer biology a faster and more cost-effective tool than traditional DNA sequencing. A ...

Restriction site maps of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA), maternally inherited in Clarkia, were obtained in representative species of all seven diploid sections, the allotetraploid sect. Clarkia, and the ...

A long-range optical DNA mapping technique has proved its worth in a clinical setting, successfully identifying large structural variants in DMD, the gene responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
