TL;DR: NextPolish is a tool that efficiently corrects sequence errors in genomes assembled with long reads by consisting of two interlinked modules designed to score and count K-mers from high quality short reads, and to polish genome assemblies containing large numbers of base errors.

TL;DR: High-quality genome sequence of cultivated peanut provides insights into genome evolution and the genetic mechanisms underlying seed size and leaf resistance in peanut, providing a cornerstone for functional genomics and peanut improvement.

TL;DR: Long-read sequencing of the transcriptome reveals novel spliced genes that are not annotated in GENCODE and are missed by short-read RNA-Seq, implying that improved characterization of genome functional variation may require the use of a range of genomic technologies on diverse human populations.

TL;DR: Interestingly, a long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon insertion upstream of MdMYB1, a core transcriptional activator of anthocyanin biosynthesis, is associated with red-skinned phenotype and provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying red fruit coloration.

TL;DR: A high-quality assembly of the E. ulmoides genome is presented, the first sequenced genome of the order Garryales, which was obtained using an integrated strategy combining Illumina sequencing, PacBio sequencing, and BioNano mapping, to provide new insights into the biology of E. ulmoides and the origin of polyisoprene biosynthesis.
