A method for capturing contiguity information comprising: treating a target DNA sequence with a transposase resulting in one or more fragmentation or insertion events; adding or inserting one or more recognition sequences to the target DNA sequence, wherein the one or more recognition sequences comprise one or more barcodes or one or more adaptor DNA sequences at the site of the one or more fragmentation or insertion events; sequencing the treated DNA; and capturing contiguity information by identifying target DNA sequences or recognition sequences having a shared property, wherein the shared property is an identical or complementary barcode sequence, or a shared or constrained physical location; wherein the contiguity information is a spatial relationship between two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence, and the spatial relationship is: (i) an adjacent relationship wherein the two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence were directly adjacent to one another prior to fragmentation, (ii) a compartmental relationship wherein the two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence were within the same segment of the target DNA sequence prior to fragmentation, or (iii) a distance relationship, wherein the two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence were non-contiguous and non-adjacent prior to fragmentation, but are related by a particular distance or sequence length between each other. treating a target DNA sequence with a transposase resulting in one or more fragmentation or insertion events; adding or inserting one or more recognition sequences to the target DNA sequence, wherein the one or more recognition sequences comprise one or more barcodes or one or more adaptor DNA sequences at the site of the one or more fragmentation or insertion events; sequencing the treated DNA; and capturing contiguity information by identifying target DNA sequences or recognition sequences having a shared property, wherein the shared property is an identical or complementary barcode sequence, or a shared or constrained physical location; wherein the contiguity information is a spatial relationship between two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence, and the spatial relationship is: (i) an adjacent relationship wherein the two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence were directly adjacent to one another prior to fragmentation, (ii) a compartmental relationship wherein the two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence were within the same segment of the target DNA sequence prior to fragmentation, or (iii) a distance relationship, wherein the two or more fragments of the target DNA sequence were non-contiguous and non-adjacent prior to fragmentation, but are related by a particular distance or sequence length between each other.
