Gapless assembly of maize chromosomes using long-read technologies

Gapless assembly of maize chromosomes using long-read technologies

Abstract Creating gapless telomere-to-telomere assemblies of complex genomes is one of the ultimate challenges in genomics. We use two independent assemblies and an optical map-based merging pipeline to produce a maize genome (B73-Ab10) composed of 63 contigs and a contig N50 of 162 Mb. This genome...
