Impact of short-read sequencing on the misassembly of a plant genome

Abstract Background Availability of plant genome sequences has led to significant advances. However, with few exceptions, the great majority of existing genome assemblies are derived from short read sequencing technologies with highly uneven read coverages indicative of sequencing and assembly issue...
