Resolving repeat families with long reads [PDF]
Draft quality genomes for a multitude of organisms have become common due to the advancement of genome assemblers using long-read technologies with high error rates. Although current assemblies are substantially more contiguous than assemblies based on short reads, complete chromosomal assemblies are still challenging. Interspersed repeat families with

Anchorage accurately assembles anchor-flanked synthetic long reads. [PDF]
Modern sequencing technologies allow for the addition of short-sequence tags, known as anchors, to both ends of a captured molecule. Anchors are useful in assembling the full-length sequence of a captured molecule as they can be used to accurately ...

Hybrid-hybrid correction of errors in long reads with HERO. [PDF]
Although generally superior, hybrid approaches for correcting errors in third-generation sequencing (TGS) reads, using next-generation sequencing (NGS) reads, mistake haplotype-specific variants for errors in polyploid and mixed samples. We suggest HERO,

Chloroplast genome draft assembly of Falcataria moluccana using hybrid sequencing technology
Objectives Falcataria moluccana, known locally as Sengon, is a fast-growing legume tree that is commonly planted in community forests of Java Island, Indonesia. However, the plantations face attacks of Boktor stem borer (Xystrocera festiva) and gall-rust

Short paired-end reads trump long single-end reads for expression analysis
Background Typical experimental design advice for expression analyses using RNA-seq generally assumes that single-end reads provide robust gene-level expression estimates in a cost-effective manner, and that the additional benefits obtained from paired ...

LongTR: genome-wide profiling of genetic variation at tandem repeats from long reads. [PDF]
Tandem repeats are frequent across the human genome, and variation in repeat length has been linked to a variety of traits. Recent improvements in long read sequencing technologies have the potential to greatly improve tandem repeat analysis, especially ...

Haplotype-Phased Synthetic Long Reads from Short-Read Sequencing. [PDF]
Next-generation DNA sequencing has revolutionized the study of biology. However, the short read lengths of the dominant instruments complicate assembly of complex genomes and haplotype phasing of mixtures of similar sequences.

Comparison and benchmark of structural variants detected from long read and long-read assembly
Abstract Structural variant (SV) detection is essential for genomic studies, and long-read sequencing technologies have advanced our capacity to detect SVs directly from read or de novo assembly, also known as read-based and assembly-based strategy. However, to date, no independent studies have compared and benchmarked the two strategies.
