Automated DNA fragments recognition and sizing through AFM image processing.

Automated DNA fragments recognition and sizing through AFM image processing.

This paper presents an automated algorithm to determine DNA fragment size from atomic force microscope images and to extract the molecular profiles. The sizing of DNA fragments is a widely used procedure for investigating the physical properties of individual or protein-bound DNA molecules. Several...
