[A method of comparison of DNA polynucleotide sequences].
The results of a comparative analysis of the kinetic curves of reassociation of DNA of closely related species of Microtus (Microtus arvalis, Microtus oeconomus oeconomus, Microtus oeconomus Chachlovi) are presented. A five power polynomial was used as a mathematical model of the kinetic DNA reassociation curves. The values of polynomial coefficients and the theoretical value, both with statistical deviations dispersion, have been estimated with the help of a standard computer programme. The modified Fischer criterium was used for comparing the model kinetic curves of reassociation of the above species and of subspecies of Microtus, and to estimate the significance of the difference between two random means. A pair-wise comparison of the model curves shows that the similarity of the DNA polynucleotide sequences in two subspecies is less expressed than in two species of Microtus. A method of comparison of DNA nucleotide sequences is suggested on the basis of mathematical models of kinetic curves of DNA reassociation.
