This disclosure features methods of identifying an organism. The methods include: (a) obtaining a nucleic acid sample from an organism; (b) imaging said nucleic acid; (c) obtaining a restriction map of said nucleic acid; and (d) correlating the restriction map of said nucleic acid with a restriction map database, thereby identifying the organism.

Methods of identifying an organism

This disclosure features methods of identifying an organism. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods of distinguishing virulent and non-virulent strains of organisms, such as

This disclosure features, inter alia, methods for determining at least one property of a nucleic acid. The methods include: (a) fixing the nucleic acid on a planar surface; (b) digesting the nucleic acid into fragments with at least one enzyme; (c) imaging the nucleic acid; and (d) analyzing the imaged nucleic acid to determine the property of the nucleic acid, wherein no internal nucleic acid standard is added during the method.
