A roadmap for understanding the evolutionary significance of structural genomic variation
Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

The Juicebox Assembly Tools module facilitates de novo assembly of mammalian genomes with chromosome-length scaffolds for under $1000
Hi-C contact maps are valuable for genome assembly (;;). Recently, we developed Juicebox,
a system for the visual exploration of Hi-C data, and 3D-DNA, an automated pipeline for …

Exploring evolutionary relationships across the genome using topology weighting
SH Martin, SM Van Belleghem - Genetics, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We introduce the concept of topology weighting, a method for quantifying relationships
between taxa that are not necessarily monophyletic, and visualizing how these relationships …
