Background:

Two-dimensional DNA (2-D DNA) display is an established method for genome comparison and visualizing genetic variations.
The technique combines size-based separation (gel electrophoresis) with sequence-composition-based separation (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis).
Current 2-D DNA display remains largely empirical and qualitative, limiting its optimization and predictive power.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive numerical model for 2-D DNA display.
To predict the positions of DNA fragments based on sequence and experimental conditions.
To enable in silico optimization and enhance the interpretation of 2-D DNA display experiments.

Main Methods:

Development of a numerical model integrating physical mechanisms of 2-D DNA display.
