Abstract
The present invention pertains to a method for sequencing genomes. The method comprises the steps of obtaining nucleic acid material from a genome. Then there is the step of constructing a clone library and one or more probe libraries from the nucleic acid material. Next there is the step of comparing the libraries to form comparisons. Then there is the step of combining the comparisons to construct a map of the clones relative to the genome. Next there is the step of determining the sequence of the genome by means of the map. The present invention also pertains to a system for sequencing a genome. The system comprises a mechanism for obtaining nucleic acid material from a genome. The system also comprises a mechanism for constructing a clone library and one or more probe libraries. The constructing mechanism is in communication with the nucleic acid material from a genome. Additionally, the system comprises a mechanism for comparing said libraries to form comparisons. The comparing mechanism is in communication with the said libraries. The system also comprises a mechanism for combining the comparisons to construct a map of the clones relative to the genome. The said combining mechanism is in communication with the comparisons. Further, the system comprises a mechanism for determining the sequence of the genome by means of said map. The said determining mechanism is in communication with said map. The present invention additionally pertains to a method for producing a gene of a genome.
