Long-read sequencing and de novo assembly of a Chinese genome

Long-read sequencing and de novo assembly of a Chinese genome

Short-read sequencing has inherent limitations in the characterisation of long repeat elements. Shi and Guo et al.combine single-molecule real-time sequencing and IrysChip to construct a Chinese reference genome that fills many gaps in the reference genome, and identify novel spliced genes.
