We describe computational aspects of fingerprinting clone libraries
(principally cDNAs), using data from the hybridisation of short
oligonucleotide probes onto nylon filters which contain clones arrayed
at high density. The topics covered are:
Selection of probes
Image analysis of filters
Assesment of hybridisation quality using control clones
Matching observed fingerprints of clones with known sequence to their
expected fingerprints
