Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of characterizing viruses and the use thereof for classification. According to the invention, a cDNA copy of a first virus is made and the cDNA is amplified and cleaved using at least one restriction endonuclease. The location of restriction fragments is mapped and compared to that of other viruses. Primers useful for amplifying the cDNA may be derived from sequences found in the 5' non-coding regions of picornavirus including human rhinovirus.
