Abstract: | We develop here several models concerning strategies for detection of restriction polymorphisms in humans. These different strategies concern the numbers of individuals to test in a DNA collection, the nature of restriction enzyme to utilize, and the length of the probes. For enzyme utilization different strategies are based on (i) the nature of the restriction site; (ii) the mean length of restriction fragments obtained; (iii) the methylated cytosine characteristics in the CG doublets. Each of these approaches are tested in experimental situations. |
