DNA Band Patterns Diagram

This visual explains how DNA fragment patterns, often seen in laboratory techniques, can be analyzed and combined to build a complete genetic map. It first presents distinct DNA band patterns across three different samples or experimental runs, labeled 1, 2, and 3. Notice the highlighted 'matching bands' that indicate shared sequences between these patterns. The diagram then smoothly transitions to show how these individual DNA fragments are carefully aligned based on their overlaps, forming a more extensive 'overlap of DNA fragments.' Ultimately, this meticulous alignment allows for the construction of a unified 'consensus restriction map,' showcasing how smaller pieces of genetic information can be assembled into a comprehensive overview.
