The assembly of DNA sequences de novo is fundamental to genomics research. It is the first
of many steps toward elucidating and characterizing whole genomes. Downstream …

Chromosome-scale genome sequence assemblies underpin pan-genomic studies. Recent
genome assembly efforts in the large-genome Triticeae crops wheat and barley have relied …

Simple Summary In the current era of data explosion, the use of genetic information is
increasingly being applied across numerous biological questions. One application has been …

High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) is a powerful tool that enables the simultaneous
detection and potential identification of any organisms present in a sample. The growing …

Background Genome sequencing yields the sequence of many short snippets of DNA
(reads) from a genome. Genome assembly attempts to reconstruct the original genome from …

Many insects metamorphose from antagonistic larvae into mutualistic adult pollinators, with
reciprocal adaptation leading to specialized insect–plant associations. It remains unknown …

The shift from sexual reproduction to parthenogenesis has occurred repeatedly in animals,
but how the loss of sex affects genome evolution remains poorly understood. We generated …

For any genome-based research, a robust genome assembly is required. De novo assembly
strategies have evolved with changes in DNA sequencing technologies and have been …

The domestic dog has evolved to be an important biomedical model for studies regarding
the genetic basis of disease, morphology and behavior. Genetic studies in the dog have …

Background Understanding sex-biased natural selection can be enhanced by access to well-
annotated chromosomes including ones inherited in sex-specific fashion. The eastern …
