This Review addresses methods for obtaining sequence information directly from unamplified genomic length DNA. Our generic starting point is a large piece of DNA that contains many thousands of base pairs (kilobase pairs, kbp) or even millions of base pairs (megabase pairs, Mbp). We would like to determine the genomic distance between two repeats of a given sequence, indicated by the red dots on the coiled DNA molecule in Figure 1. This type of large-scale genomic mapping is an important complement to sequencing.(1) For example, consider the challenges in obtaining a “medical grade” human genome (2) that contains a complete diploid genome sequence for a patient with accurate structural variation information, such as copy number polymorphism and gene rearrangements. Ideally, every patient genome should be de novo assembled independently, especially in a cancer genome with highly scrambled structural rearrangements. Unfortunately, even though sequencing costs are decreasing, high-throughput sequencing still suffers from limitations (3, 4) such as (i) limited read lengths, which hinders de novo genome assembly and hampers detection of large inversions,(5) and (ii) difficulty with tandem repeats and telomeric regions.(5-7) Even if emerging sequencing technologies deliver on their promises (8-10) and enable long, accurate sequencing reads, a sequencing approach to the medical grade genome would still suffer from the “data deluge” problem of trying to store, annotate, and compare vast numbers of genomes.(11) Moreover, it is not at all obvious that we need to compare every base to make a useful diagnosis. Indeed, many large genomic rearrangements in the kilobase to megabase pair range are important determinants of phenotype and disease states.(12)In this context, genome mapping is a key tool for detecting such large-scale rearrangements, and we will see methods here that operate with high-throughput on single molecules of DNA. Of the many applications of genome mapping that we will discuss in section 3, a particularly notable example is detecting copy number variants.(13) These are easily seen as changes in the distance between red dots in Figure 1 but very hard to obtain from short sequencing reads. The connection between mapping and sequencing is analogous to exploring Google Maps with the zoom in/out functions. While the very localized street view (ie, short reads from next generation sequencing) is useful, one would get lost without any contextual location information, especially when the houses look alike (ie, copy number amplifications and repeats obtained from genome mapping).
