Technology: Whole Genome Sequence Assembly

Close and Validate Whole Genome Sequences Rapidly and Cost-effectively

• Survey genomic architecture prior to initiating costly sequencing projects
• Orient and align contigs to an Optical Map scaffold
• Determine gap size and location
• Find chromosomal inversions, insertions, deletions, and translocations
• Identify and correct misassembled sequences
• Resolve sequencing challenges due to repetitive sequences

Unordered sequence contigs are aligned to an Optical Map to rapidly orient contigs and identify misassemblies.
