Genome sequencing projects were long confined to biomedical model organisms and
required the concerted effort of large consortia. Rapid progress in high‐throughput …

Aligning sequencing reads onto a reference is an essential step of the majority of genomic
analysis pipelines. Computational algorithms for read alignment have evolved in …

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 …

The genus Oryza is a model system for the study of molecular evolution over time scales
ranging from a few thousand to 15 million years. Using 13 reference genomes spanning the …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

There is an increasing awareness that as a result of structural variation, a reference
sequence representing a genome of a single individual is unable to capture all of the gene …

Most fresh bananas belong to the Cavendish and Gros Michel subgroups. Here, we report
chromosome-scale genome assemblies of Cavendish (1.48 Gb) and Gros Michel (1.33 Gb) …

Crop domestications are long-term selection experiments that have greatly advanced
human civilization. The domestication of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) ranks as one of the …

Despite hundreds of sequenced Arabidopsis genomes, very little is known about the degree
of genomic collinearity within single species, due to the low number of chromosome-level …

Abstract The handheld Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer generates ultra-long reads with
minimal cost and time requirements, which makes sequencing genomes at the bench …
