ABSTRACT:
A method of characterizing an unknown organism species which comprises, determining the position of part or whole of evolutionarily conserved DNA sequences in DNA of the organism, relative to the position of restriction endonuclease cleavage sites in the DNA, thereby to obtain an identifying genetic characterization of the unknown organism, and comparing the characterization with information from at least two sets of identifying genetic characterizations derived from the same conserved sequences, each of the sets defining a known organism species.
