title: [Alternative approaches to genome mapping and sequencing].
abstract: The main methods used for large-scale mapping of the human and other genomes are reviewed. These methods comprise two procedures of random mapping/sequencing and an approach using linking and jumping libraries. Importantly, no method used up to now has proved efficient in comparative genome analysis. A new method is presented basing on slalom libraries. These libraries provide 10-100 times higher efficiency and may be used for mapping and sequencing whole genomes by small research groups.
