Although sequencing technology and price performance per base-pair-sequenced continue to advance at an impressive rate, Finished whole genome sequencing projects are still costly and lengthy endeavors. Next Gen sequencing technology (and even next-next gen technology) isn’t addressing some of the common issues faced with creating a “Finished” quality genome, namely Contig Placement, Gap Closure and Validation. Addressing these issues takes several months and a substantial amount of the budget in a sequencing project.

This webinar will discuss how using Whole Genome Mapping technology, also called Optical Mapping, can significantly reduce the length and cost of sequencing projects.

Whole Genome (Optical) Mapping is a de novo process that generates whole genome, ordered, restriction maps with no requirement for previous sequence information & provides a comprehensive view of genomic architecture.
