Identification of a mini-Mu by computer analysis of partially denatured DNA.

PMCID: PMC553142  PMID: 6765235

Abstract

From the histogram of the partial denaturation of a mini-Mu DNA, we constructed its standard denaturation map. We devised a computer analysis which, by using this map, allows the localization of the mini-Mu DNA in a bacterial DNA population.
