The advantages of chromosome jumping are:
* Allows more rapid movement through the genome compared to other techniques, such as chromosome walking.
* Able to travel across chromosomal regions containing unclonable sequences in bacterial hosts.
* Thirdly, this technique can be used to generate genomic markers with known chromosomal locations. 
*Combination of jumping and linking jumping libraries to walking offers possibility of directional walking and might allow the analysis of longer regions in parallel mapping strategies. 
*Reduces the complexity of libraries to be screened and constructed of mammalian genome. 
However, despite these advantages, chromosome jumping is still restricted by the capacity of the cloning vector which is the distance of the ends of the two fragments which can be approximately hundreds of kilobases. Additionally, because the jump does not clone the intervening DNA, chromosome walking would have to be done to identify all the genes present in the DNA.  Regardless, it is still deemed to be beneficial due to the possibility to jump over hundred kilobases in comparison to chromosome walking.
