An improved de novo genome assembly of the common marmoset genome yields improved contiguity and increased mapping rates of sequence data

Abstract Background The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is one of the most studied primate model organisms. However, the marmoset genomes available in the public databases are highly fragmented and filled with sequence gaps, hindering research advances related to marmoset genomics and transcrip...
