Complex eukaryotic genomes are now being sequenced at an accelerated pace primarily using whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequence assembly approaches. WGS assembly was initially criticized because of its ...

The first, complete, telomere-to-telomere sequence of a human autosome has been completed. The sequence of chromosome 8 not only fills in the gap of more than three million bases missing from the ...

It’s only been three years since UC Santa Cruz researchers proved that long-read human genome assembly using the same nanopore technology developed on campus could be done at all. At the time, it was ...

The results suggest that the strain has a unique combination of features containing genes from two different types of E. coli as well as its own genes. The sequencing assembly shows that the strain ...
