Nucleic acid marker ladder for estimating mass
First Claim
1. A nucleic acid marker ladder consisting essentially of a restriction endonuclease digest, wherein(a) the nucleic acid restriction endonuclease digest is a collection of nucleic acid fragments resulting from the complete digestion of one or more nucleic acids by one or more restriction endonucleases;
- (b) the restriction endonuclease digest contains at least 3 fragments; and
(c) the size of the fragments in base pairs is a multiple of an integer, wherein the integer is 10 or more.
