After I sequence, I have numerous contigs to assemble — how does Optical Mapping help with contig placement and closure?

Your sequence and contig data can be converted into an in silico sequence contig Optical Map. Utilizing the proprietary Map Analysis Software, the Map will be analyzed and the contigs will be aligned and oriented quickly on the Map scaffold in their appropriate, ordered location. Gap size and location will be determined. Mis-assemblies, repetitive sequences, insertions, deletions and mobile elements will be visually identified. Contigs less than 50Kb may not be placed. Your map may also be compared to other available sequenced organisms very easily.
