Can Optical Mapping provide Maps of plasmids or viruses?
Optical Mapping requires very high molecular weight DNA (200Kb at minimum). Our imaging software automatically excludes molecules of sizes less than 200Kb. In our past experience, we have mapped plasmids and extra chromosomal elements approximately 150Kb in size, but ordinarily, we would be looking for molecules 200Kb or higher.
