HapSolo: an optimization approach for removing secondary haplotigs during diploid genome assembly and scaffolding

Abstract Background Despite marked recent improvements in long-read sequencing technology, the assembly of diploid genomes remains a difficult task. A major obstacle is distinguishing between alternative contigs that represent highly heterozygous regions. If primary and secondary contigs are not pro...
