Whole Genome Human Chromosome Physical Mapping
2006
This entry reviews the types of physical map that can be constructed, the methods used to construct them and their most likely current use. In particular, the emphasis is on the construction of genomic restriction maps and ordering overlapping libraries using top-down mapping approaches to enable de novo genome sequencing and for gap filling in sequencing projects. Also explored is the use of these approaches in functional studies.
