Analysis of segmental duplications and genome assembly in the mouse.
Limited comparative studies suggest that the human genome is particularly enriched for recent segmental duplications. The extent of segmental duplications in other mammalian genomes is unknown and confounded by methodological differences in genome assembly. Here, we present a detailed analysis of recent duplication content within the mouse genome using a whole-genome assembly comparison method ...
متن کاملLong-read sequence assembly of the gorilla genome.
Accurate sequence and assembly of genomes is a critical first step for studies of genetic variation. We generated a high-quality assembly of the gorilla genome using single-molecule, real-time sequence technology and a string graph de novo assembly algorithm. The new assembly improves contiguity by two to three orders of magnitude with respect to previously released assemblies, recovering 87% o...
متن کاملLong-read sequence assembly of the firefly Pyrocoelia pectoralis genome
Background Fireflies are a family of insects within the beetle order Coleoptera, or winged beetles, and they are one of the most well-known and loved insect species because of their bioluminescence. However, the firefly is in danger of extinction because of the massive destruction of its living environment. In order to improve the understanding of fireflies and protect them effectively, we sequ...
متن کاملOrigins and Impacts of Primate Segmental Duplications
Duplicated sequences are substrates for the emergence of new genes and are an important source of genetic instability associated with rare and common disease. Analyses of primate genomes have shown an increase in the proportion of interspersed segmental duplications within the genomes of humans and great apes. This is in contrast to other mammalian genomes that appear to have their recently dup...
متن کاملGenome assembly from synthetic long read clouds
MOTIVATION Despite rapid progress in sequencing technology, assembling de novo the genomes of new species as well as reconstructing complex metagenomes remains major technological challenges. New synthetic long read (SLR) technologies promise significant advances towards these goals; however, their applicability is limited by high sequencing requirements and the inability of current assembly pa...
