Can You Map a Genome?

• Large maps of genomes require manageable mapped segments
• Chromosome walks are taken on large DNA fragments
• Restriction enzymes are used to obtain large fragments
• The fragments are cloned into hybrid plasmids to create a genomic library
• The library contains pieces of DNA from the entire genome
• The fragment of interest is cut with other restriction enzymes and sequenced
• A radioactive probe is used to identify other fragments with overlapping sequences
• These fragments are similarly mapped
• The process allows for the mapping of large segments or entire genomes
• The task can be overwhelming but is essential for genome mapping.
