Scientific paper

This paper studies sequencing and mapping methods that rely solely on pooling and shotgun sequencing of clones. First, we scrutinize and improve the recently proposed Clone-Array Pooled Shotgun Sequencing (CAPSS) method, which delivers a BAC-linked assembly of a whole genome sequence. Secondly, we introduce a novel physical mapping method, called Clone-Array Pooled Shotgun Mapping (CAPS-MAP), which computes the physical ordering of BACs in a random library. Both CAPSS and CAPS-MAP construct subclone libraries from pooled genomic BAC clones. We propose algorithmic and experimental improvements that make CAPSS a viable option for sequencing a set of BACs. We provide the first probabilistic model of CAPSS sequencing progress. The model leads to theoretical results supporting previous, less formal arguments on the practicality of CAPSS. We demonstrate the usefulness of CAPS-MAP for clone overlap detection with a probabilistic analysis, and a simulated assembly of the Drosophila melanogaster genome. Our analysis indicates that CAPS-MAP is well-suited for detecting BAC overlaps in a highly redundant library, relying on a low amount of shotgun sequence information. Consequently, it is a practical method for computing the physical ordering of clones in a random library, without requiring additional clone fingerprinting. Since CAPS-MAP requires only shotgun sequence reads, it can be seamlessly incorporated into a sequencing project with almost no experimental overhead.
