Abstract A contig map is a physical map that shows the native order of a library of overlapping genomic clones. One common method for creating such maps involves using hybridization to detect clone overlaps. False-positive and false-negative hybridization errors, the presence of chimeric clones, and gaps in library coverage lead to ambiguity and error in the clone order. Genomes with good genetic maps, such as Neurospora crassa, provide a means for reducing ambiguities and errors when constructing contig maps if clones can be anchored with genetic markers to the genetic map. A software application called ODS2 for creating contig maps based on clone-clone hybridization data is presented. This application is also designed to exploit partial ordering information provided by anchorage of clones to a genetic map. This information, along with clone-clone hybridization data, is used by a clone ordering algorithm and is represented graphically, allowing users to interactively align physical and genetic maps. ODS2 has a graphical user interface and is implemented entirely in Java, so it runs on multiple platforms. Other features include the flexibility of storing data in a local file or relational database and the ability to create full or minimum tiling contig maps.
