Linkage disequilibrium maps to guide contig ordering for genome assembly.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Efforts to establish reference genome sequences by de novo sequence assembly have to address the difficulty of linking relatively short sequence contigs to form much larger chromosome assemblies. Efficient strategies are required to span gaps and establish contig order and relative orientation. We consider here the use of linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps of sequenced contigs and the utility of LD for...
