Gain a deeper understanding of genome biology with the breakthrough Genome Mapping System from BioNano Genomics. Founded on proprietary NanoChannel technology, the BioNano Genomics system enables the rapid generation of whole genome maps (physical maps or optical maps) that provide powerful data for a variety of applications. The BioNano Genomics technology dynamically streams and linearizes extremely long DNA molecules for direct image analysis. This high-throughput platform automates the imaging of individual molecules of genomic DNA hundreds to thousands of kilobases in length that have been labeled at specific sequence motifs. High-resolution genome maps are assembled de novo, preserving long-range structural variation and haplotyping information that is intractable by current short read NGS platforms. Genome maps are used to complete of de novo assemblies of complex genomes and for the identification of large structural variants.
