Toward a physical map of the genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

A Coulson et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1986 Oct.

Abstract

A technique for digital characterization and comparison of DNA fragments, using restriction enzymes, is described. The technique is being applied to fragments from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (i) to facilitate cross-indexing of clones emanating from different laboratories and (ii) to construct a physical map of the genome. Eight hundred sixty clusters of clones, from 35 to 350 kilobases long and totaling about 60% of the genome, have been characterized.
