Treatment of African swine fever virus DNA (about 170 kbp) with the restriction endonucleases SalI, EcoRI, KpnI, PvuI, and SmaI yielded 14, 31, 17, 13, and 11 fragments, respectively. The order of the restriction fragments produced by each nuclease was established by identifying the crosslinked EcoRI and SalI terminal fragments and then finding overlapping fragments. The five restriction fragment maps were integrated into a single map by locating SalI, KpnI, PvuI, and SmaI sites in cloned EcoRI fragments, and orienting each fragment in the overall map.
