Abstract

Despite the rapid progress in the human genome project effort, there is little doubt that radically new conceptual approaches are needed before routine whole genome-based analyses can be undertaken by both basic research and clinical laboratories. Physical mapping of genomes, using restriction endonucleases, has played a major role in the identification and characterization of various loci. Optical mapping is the first practical non-electrophoretic genomic mapping approach. It is a single molecule methodology for the rapid production of ordered restriction maps from single DNA molecules.
