Rapid advances in nanopore technologies for sequencing single long DNA and RNA
molecules have led to substantial improvements in accuracy, read length and throughput …

Long-read sequencing (LRS) technologies have provided extremely powerful tools to
explore genomes. While in the early years these methods suffered technical limitations, they …

Publication of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant
reference genome, in December 2000 heralded the beginning of the plant genome era …

Whole genome sequencing technologies are unable to invariably read DNA molecules
intact, a shortcoming that assemblers try to resolve by stitching the obtained fragments back …

Motivation Although long-read sequencing technologies can produce genomes with long
contiguity, they suffer from high error rates. Thus, we developed NextPolish, a tool that …

Existing long-read assemblers require thousands of central processing unit hours to
assemble a human genome and are being outpaced by sequencing technologies in terms of …

Abstract The Brassicaceae Database (BRAD version 3.0, BRAD V3. 0; http://brassicadb. cn)
has evolved from the former Brassica Database (BRAD V2. 0), and represents an important …

Construction of chromosome-level assembly is a vital step in achieving the goal of a
'Platinum'genome, but it remains a major challenge to assemble and anchor sequences to …

Brassica oleracea, globally cultivated for its vegetable crops, consists of very diverse
morphotypes, characterized by specialized enlarged organs as harvested products. This …

The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across
the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and …
