DNA fingerprinting

Simulation is performed in three steps
  • The gene/DNA sequence  used to develop a probe is selected (by PCR amplification or by name)
  • Endonuclease for complete genome restriction is selected
  • Simulation is performed: genome is virtually restricted, and fragments containing the probe matching sequences are shown


Selection of probe

By PCR amplification
Primer 11    5'- -3' C
Primer 21    5'- -3' C

Allow mismatches, but in 3' end

Maximum lenght of bands
  nucleotides

By name of gene ("16S","ribosomal RNA"...)
   

Genome

Include plasmids (if available)
