genome assembly
The project leaders hope that T2T-CHM13 will be used as a new linear reference genome while they are generating phased genomes for the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium.
New California Condor Genome Assembly Reveals High Genetic Diversity
Genetic diversity, which helps the birds adapt in the wild, can also aid conservationists' efforts to breed out deleterious traits and diseases in the species.
Vertebrate Genomes Project Presents High-Quality Genomes for 25 Species
In a series of new papers, researchers from the project describe their sequencing pipeline and how the new assemblies have fueled additional studies.
Researchers comparing structural variant detection using short- and long-read technologies said assembly-based methods can provide added value, despite missing certain CNVs.
Wild Animal Gut Microbiomes Reveal New Species, Ties to Host Traits
The gut microbiomes of nearly 200 animal species could serve as a resource for the discovery of new therapeutics and biotechnology applications.
