Abstract
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 16-3. We have constructed complex maps (i.e. EcoRI map with 16 and EcoRV with 11 fragments).
