Reference-guided de novo assembly approach improves genome reconstruction for related species

Abstract Background The development of next-generation sequencing has made it possible to sequence whole genomes at a relatively low cost. However, de novo genome assemblies remain challenging due to short read length, missing data, repetitive regions, polymorphisms and sequencing errors. As more an...
