Ordered Restriction Maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Chromosomes Constructed by Optical Mapping

Abstract: A light microscope-based technique for rapidly constructing ordered physical maps of chromosomes has been developed. Restriction enzyme digestion of elongated individual DNA molecules (about 0.2 to 1.0 megabases in size) was imaged by fluorescence microscopy after fixation in agarose gel. The size of the resulting individual restriction fragments was determined by relative fluorescence intensity and apparent molecular contour length. Ordered restriction maps were then created from genomic DNA without reliance … Show more

“…High molecular weight DNA was obtained from Chinese hamster tissues. Whole genome shotgun, single-molecule restriction maps were generated using the automated Argus system (OpGen Inc., Maryland, USA), based on the optical mapping technology 51,52 . Individual DNA molecules were deposited onto silane-derivatized glass surfaces in MapCards (OpGen Inc., MD, USA) and digested by BamHI enzyme.…”

“…We return at this point to a comparison of our method to that of Schwartz et al (5,6). These authors have achieved a resolution of 1.1 kbp using 20-150 molecules (20).…”

“…To date, the most powerful method for constructing restriction maps of long DNA molecules (100 kbp and above) is the one developed by Schwartz and coworkers (5,6). Their technique consists of stretching the DNA on a surface to establish a one-to-one mapping between spatial and genomic position, initiating the restriction by exposing the DNA to restriction enzymes and Mg 2ϩ , and optically observing the lengths of the resulting fragments.…”

“…There are several examples in the literature that demonstrate that the distributions of many molecular properties, as determined by SMD techniques, are Gaussian (14 -21). Likewise, there are studies that report molecular property measurements based on fewer than 10 measurements (22)(23)(24)(25). However, these studies do not present a statistical analysis of the sample size or a detailed discussion to support the limited sample size relative to experimental parameters.…”
