A method of comparing genomic DNA from two individuals who share a phenotype cutting the DNA into fragments long enough to contain on average one or several polymorphisms; combining the fragments under hybridisation conditions and recovering mismatch-free heterohybrids wherein adapters resistant to , nuclease digestion are ligated to the ends of the genomic fragments. A related method uses pooled genomic DNA from individuals with a common phenotype. Another related method uses restricted nucleic acid fragments likely to contain on average less than one natural polymorphism.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 4, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 4, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 4, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
