Optical mapping in plant comparative genomics [PDF]
Optical mapping has been widely used to improve de novo plant genome assemblies, including rice, maize, Medicago, Amborella, tomato and wheat, with more genomes in the pipeline. Optical mapping provides long-range information of the genome and can more easily identify large structural variations.

OM2Seq: Learning retrieval embeddings for optical genome mapping
AbstractMotivationGenomics-based diagnostic methods that are quick, precise, and economical are essential for the advancement of precision medicine, with applications spanning the diagnosis of infectious diseases, cancer, and rare diseases. One technology that holds potential in this field is optical genome mapping (OGM), which is capable of detecting ...

Multiplex structural variant detection by whole-genome mapping and nanopore sequencing
Identification of structural variants (SVs) breakpoints is important in studying mutations, mutagenic causes, and functional impacts. Next-generation sequencing and whole-genome optical mapping are extensively used in SV discovery and characterization ...

Chromosomal-level assembly of the Asian Seabass genome using long sequence reads and multi-layered scaffolding [PDF]
We report here the ~670 Mb genome assembly of the Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer), a tropical marine teleost. We used long-read sequencing augmented by transcriptomics, optical and genetic mapping along with shared synteny from closely related fish ...

Comparative genetics of Enterococcus faecalis intestinal tissue isolates before and after surgery in a rat model of colon anastomosis. [PDF]
We have recently demonstrated that collagenolytic Enterococcus faecalis plays a key and causative role in the pathogenesis of anastomotic leak, an uncommon but potentially lethal complication characterized by disruption of the intestinal wound following ...

Long-read technologies identify a hidden inverted duplication in a family with choroideremia
Summary: The lack of molecular diagnoses in rare genetic diseases can be explained by limitations of current standard genomic technologies. Upcoming long-read techniques have complementary strengths to overcome these limitations, with a particular ...

Optical genome mapping in an atypical Pelizaeus-Merzbacher prenatal challenge
Pathogenic genetic variants represent a challenge in prenatal counseling, especially when clinical presentation in familial carriers is atypical. We describe a prenatal case involving a microarray-detected duplication of PLP1 which causes X-linked ...

Pericentromeric heterochromatin is hierarchically organized and spatially contacts H3K9me2 islands in euchromatin. [PDF]
Membraneless pericentromeric heterochromatin (PCH) domains play vital roles in chromosome dynamics and genome stability. However, our current understanding of 3D genome organization does not include PCH domains because of technical challenges associated ...

Genome maps across 26 human populations reveal population-specific patterns of structural variation. [PDF]
Large structural variants (SVs) in the human genome are difficult to detect and study by conventional sequencing technologies. With long-range genome analysis platforms, such as optical mapping, one can identify large SVs (>2 kb) across the genome in ...
