Accurate haplotype-resolved de novo assembly of human genomes with RFhap

RFhap is a reproducible workflow for haplotype-resolved de novo assembly of human genomes using parental short reads and child long reads. The method assigns long reads to parental haplotypes and evaluates downstream assemblies with haplotype-aware …

The Silene latifolia genome and its giant Y chromosome

This study reports a high-quality assembly of the male Silene latifolia genome and resolves one of the largest known plant Y chromosomes. The work links repeat accumulation, recombination suppression, and chromosome restructuring to the origin of …
