ACKNOWLEDGMENTS<br />

I would like to thank <strong>the</strong> many people without whom this work would not have been<br />

possible. The optical mapping system, which forms <strong>the</strong> basis for this <strong>the</strong>sis, was pioneered by<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong> David Schwartz and continues to be developed under his leadership at <strong>the</strong> Laboratory for<br />

Molecular and Computational Genomics at <strong>the</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong> – Madison. Several<br />

people at <strong>the</strong> lab have helped me understand various aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> system: primarily Steve<br />

Goldstein, as well as Rod Runnheim, Chris Churas, Shiguo Zhou and Gus Potamousis. The<br />

optical map data used in this <strong>the</strong>sis were collected by Alex Lim, Susan Reslewic and Jill<br />

Herschleb. Pr<strong>of</strong> Paul Lizardi’s lab at Yale provided some supplementary data and analysis.<br />

Finally, my advisor Pr<strong>of</strong> Michael Newton provided many important insights throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

last few years and helped immensely in shaping <strong>the</strong> final manuscript.
