The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution.

TL;DR: The draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome of Norway spruce (Picea abies), the first available for any gymnosperm, is presented, revealing numerous long (>10,000 base pairs) introns, gene-like fragments, uncharacterized long non-coding RNAs and short RNAs, which opens up new genomic avenues for conifer forestry and breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

BESST - Efficient scaffolding of large fragmented assemblies

TL;DR: A comprehensive comparison of BESST against the most popular stand-alone scaffolders on a large variety of datasets concludes that information sources other than the quantity of links, as is commonly used, can provide useful information about genome structure when scaffolding.
