Hi, apfejes
Thanks for your reply (below). I thought I would shift this discussion from the 'Introductions' section to a new post here, seeing as it gets into some specifics...
No problem! Its great to get the information. I think the existing BAC library (including BAC end sequences) [REF] in addition to an 'Ultra high density genetic map' [REF] in potato has kept the consortium on the path of 'LastGen', however, there is the possibility of combining approaches to help finish the project.
Coincidentally(?) I got an email from Bioinformatics World Wide with the following two very useful publications:
Within these I found the following useful citations
I thought I would post the above back to the forum in case people find themselves in a similar situation (i.e. having to understand LastGen data in a NextGen community :-)
Thanks again for your help,
Dan.

Coincidentally(?) I got an email from Bioinformatics World Wide with the following two very useful publications:
- Algorithmic challenges in mammalian whole-genome assembly
- Errors in sequence assembly and corrections
Within these I found the following useful citations
- Genomic mapping by fingerprinting random clones: a mathematical analysis. - Looks key.
- A whole-genome assembly of Drosophila - ;-)
- Automated DNA sequencing of the human HPRT locus.
- Assembly of the working draft of the human genome with GigAssembler.
