Abstract The original Heinz 1706 reference genome was produced by a large team of scientists from across the globe variety input sources that included 454 sequences in addition to full-length BACs, BAC and fosmid ends sequenced with Sanger technology. We present here latest tomato (SL4.0) assembled de novo PacBio long reads scaffolded using Hi-C contact maps. assembly validated Bionano optical maps 10X linked-read sequences. This is highly contiguous fewer gaps compared previous builds...
Nitrogen deprivation increases the triacylglycerol (TAG) content in microalgae but also severely decreases growth rate. Most approaches that attempted to increase TAG productivity by overexpression or knockdown of specific genes related regulation lipid synthesis have reported only little success. More insight into molecular mechanisms accumulation and impaired rate is needed find targets for improving productivity. By using emerging "omics" approach, we comprehensively profiled physiology,...
Abstract We present the first reference genome of highly heterozygous autotetraploid Allium porrum (leek). Combining long-read sequencing with SNP-array screening two experimental F1 populations, we generated a genetic map 11,429 SNP markers across 8 linkage groups and chromosome-scale assembly (leek) totaling 15.2 Gbp in size. High quality is substantiated by 97.2% BUSCO completeness mapping rate 96% for full-length transcripts. The exposes recombination landscape leek confirms that...
SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers are rapidly becoming the of choice for applications in breeding because next generation sequencing technology developments. For development by NGS technologies, correct assembly huge amounts sequence data generated is essential. Little known about assembler's performance, especially when dealing with highly heterogeneous species that show a high genome complexity and what possible consequences differences assemblies on retrieval. This study tested...
