Cleavage of adeno-associated virus DNA with Sali,Psti and Haeii restriction endonucleases.

Duplex AAV-2 DNA was digested with SalI, PstI or HaeII restriction endonucleases and the cleavage sites were mapped. SalI cleaves AAV DNA at 0.310 map units, PstI at 0.106, 0.422 and 0.914 and the five HaeII sites were mapped at 0.110. 0.156, 0.181, 0.536 and 0.600 map units. These cleavage products will be useful for the isolation of specific regions from the AAV DNA, located outside of the stably transcribed region of the genome, and will also help to map more complex restriction enzyme cleavages.
