Hybrid assembly with long and short reads improves discovery of gene family expansions [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Long-read and short-read sequencing technologies offer competing advantages for eukaryotic genome sequencing projects. Combinations of both may be appropriate for surveys of within-species genomic variation.
