DESCRIPTION:The OpGen Argus™ Whole Genome Mapping (WGM) System uses large
  single molecule reads of 150 Kb to 2.5 Mb to produce de novo high-resolut
 ion\, ordered restriction maps for strain typing\, comparative genomics\, 
 and whole-genome sequence assembly of the genomes of microorganisms and la
 rger organisms.  WGM facilitates investigation of genetic events such as i
 nsertions\, deletions\, inversions\, and copy-number variants (CNVs).  OpG
 en recently announced joint efforts with large whole-genome sequencing ins
 titutions like BGI and the Sanger Wellcome Trust Institute\, to expand the
  use of WGM for sequence finishing of human\, plant\, and animal genomes. 
  The OpGen large genome WGM application uses the long single molecule read
 s of optical based mapping as well as next generation sequencing data in a
  hybrid approach to produce “super scaffolds” that significantly impro
 ve the overall quality of sequencing projects by increasing N50 scores and
  decreasing the total number of scaffolds.  The large single molecule read
 s of WGM provide results that second and third generation sequencing techn
 ologies alone cannot achieve.  \n\nOpGen raffle at the seminar:\n\nGrand P
