A technique that can be used to construct a clone contig by identifying overlapping fragments of cloned DNA.

A strategy for locating a gene based on sequencing a panel of overlapping clones that span the estimated location of a gene.

A research technique in which overlapping fragments of a chromosome are checked one at a time in search of a particular gene. It covers smaller regions than chromosome jumping.

A method for the dissection of large segments of DNA, in which a cloned segment of DNA, usually eukaryotic, is used to screen recombinant DNA clones from the same genome bank for other clones containing neighboring sequences.

A technique used to identify a series of overlapping restriction fragments, often to determine the relative positions of genes on large chromosomes.

Working from a flanking DNA marker, overlapping clones are successively identified that span a chromosomal region of interest

Using an ordered assembly of clones to extend from a known start point.
