    • Main Results:

    • The generalized linear model provides accurate restriction site coordinate estimates.
    • Regression diagnostics effectively identify mis-specified or influential fragment lengths.
    • A novel diagnostic is presented for detecting fragment lengths that reverse site order.
    • Exact DNA sequencing fragment lengths can be incorporated with adjusted weighting.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed statistical method enhances the accuracy and reliability of restriction mapping.
    • The diagnostic tools improve data quality assessment in restriction mapping projects.
    • This approach offers a flexible and powerful framework for analyzing restriction fragment data.
