title: COMAP: a comigrating analysis program for estimating the relationship of adenoviruses on the genome level.
abstract: The computer program COMAP is described that enables one to evaluate the relationship among adenovirus 6 strains by comigration analysis with regard to the genome. The required data were obtained by restriction analysis with several enzymes. The program is also important for identifying further adenovirus strains by DNA restriction analysis and to compare new restriction fragment patterns with stored data of known adenovirus strains. We believe that in this manner the DNA restriction analysis will become a valuable diagnostic procedure.
