MOTIVATION: To determine the most powerful artificial intelligence
techniques for automated restriction mapping, and use them to create a
powerful multiple-enzyme restriction mapping tool. RESULTS: The most
effective search engine utilized model-driven exhaustive search and a form
of binary logic pruning based on Pratt's separation theory. Additional
experimentation led to the development of an input preprocessing module
which significantly speeds up searches, and an output post-processing
module which enables users to analyze large solution sets and reduce their
apparent complexity. AVAILABILITY: An executable version of the resultant
tool, Mapper, can be downloaded from our Web site
(http://www.ai.eecs.uic.edu) by selecting the 'Software' option. CONTACT:
