Trait biases in microbial reference genomes
Scientific Data, 2023 AbstractCommon culturing techniques and priorities bias our discovery towards specific traits that may not be representative of microbial diversity in nature. So far, these biases have not been systematically examined. To address this gap, here we use 116,884 publicly available metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs, completeness ≥80%) from 203 surveys ...

HGG Advances, 2023 Summary: Over the last two decades, the human reference genome has undergone multiple updates as we complete a linear representation of our genome. Two versions of human references are currently used in the biomedical literature, GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38 ...

A reference genome assembly of Simmental cattle, Bos taurus taurus.
Journal of Heredity, 2021 Genomics research has relied principally on the establishment and curation of a reference genome for the species. However, it is increasingly recognized that a single reference genome cannot fully describe the extent of genetic variation within many ...

The Sorghum bicolor reference genome: improved assembly, gene annotations, a transcriptome atlas, and signatures of genome organization. [PDF]
, 2017 Sorghum bicolor is a drought tolerant C4 grass used for the production of grain, forage, sugar, and lignocellulosic biomass and a genetic model for C4 grasses due to its relatively small genome (approximately 800 Mbp), diploid genetics, diverse ...

Refgenie: a reference genome resource manager
GigaScience, 2020 Abstract Background Reference genome assemblies are essential for high-throughput sequencing analysis projects. Typically, genome assemblies are stored on disk alongside related resources; e.g., many sequence aligners require the assembly to be indexed.

A reference-grade wild soybean genome [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractEfficient crop improvement depends on the application of accurate genetic information contained in diverse germplasm resources. Here we report a reference-grade genome of wild soybean accession W05, with a final assembled genome size of 1013.2 Mb and a contig N50 of 3.3 Mb.

An improved Plasmodium cynomolgi genome assembly reveals an unexpected methyltransferase gene expansion. [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Plasmodium cynomolgi, a non-human primate malaria parasite species, has been an important model parasite since its discovery in 1907. Similarities in the biology of P.

Fugu: a compact vertebrate reference genome [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2000 At 400 Mb, the Japanese pufferfish, Fugu rubripes, has the smallest vertebrate genome but has a similar gene repertoire to other vertebrates. Its genes are densely packed with short intergenic and intronic sequences devoid of repetitive elements. It likely has a mutational bias towards DNA elimination and is probably close to a ‘minimal’ vertebrate ...
