Title: Whole Genome Profiling - a novel method for physical mapping and sequence assembly
By: Jan van Oeveren, KeyGene
Venue: Biomolecular Science Building Room 3118
Abstact: We developed a novel technology, whole genome profiling (WGP), which uses the power of next generation sequencing technologies, such as Illumina GA, to identify unique sequence tags and construct high quality physical maps. These maps are constructed by sequence-based fingerprinting of a BAC library. Pooled BAC clones are identified by amplified restriction fragments and the ends of these fragments are sequenced to obtain WGP tags, most of which are unique in the genome. Subsequently, fingerprint contig building software is used to align the tagged BACs into a whole genome physical map. The resulting map with unique WGP tags will provide anchor points to link sequence read assemblies and thus integrate WGP with WGS to obtain high quality, high coverage genome assemblies.
