Optical maps are high-resolution restriction maps (Rmaps) that give a unique numeric representation to a genome. Used in concert with sequence reads, they provide a useful tool for genome assembly and for discovering structural variations and rearrangements. Although they have been a regular feature of modern genome assembly projects, optical maps have been mainly used in post-processing step and not in the genome assembly process itself. Several methods have been proposed for pairwise alignment of single molecule optical maps-called Rmaps, or for aligning optical maps to assembled reads. However, the problem of aligning an Rmap to a graph representing the sequence data of the same genome has not been studied before. Such an alignment provides a mapping between two sets of data: optical maps and sequence data which will facilitate the usage of optical maps in the sequence assembly step itself.
