Chromosome-level assembly of the Rangifer tarandus genome and validation of cervid and bovid evolution insights

Abstract Background Genome assembly into chromosomes facilitates several analyses including cytogenetics, genomics and phylogenetics. Despite rapid development in bioinformatics, however, assembly beyond scaffolds remains challenging, especially in species without closely related well-assembled and...
