Today's Special: Opinions....$0.02 each ! >-------------------------------------------------------------- There's a lot of programs out there that will do what you want. I think that they are also commercial programs. That is if you want the program to analyze the band patterns from restriction digests. If you just want to predict restriction sites from a DNA sequence, there's lots of public domain programs around. One of the better ones is DNA Strider. Feel free to get in touch if you want more information. Chris #! r
