a
The molecular sizes (in base pairs) of the bands after digestion with BstEII and HaeIII are given; although the molecular sizes present on the PRA website were sometimes corrected upon introduction into the database, we adopted the values presented on the website and by Brunello et al. (2).
b
Literature data are either the reference or the molecular sizes (in base pairs) obtained by sequencing, as recently described by Brunello et al. (2).
c
http://www.hospvd.ch:8005.
d
Pattern number used in the algorithm.
e
Number used on the PRA website.
f
Patterns with differences of 5 to 10 bp.
g
ND, not determined.
