Assemblathon 1: A competitive assessment of de novo short read assembly methods

Dent Earl, +78 more
- 16 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: The Assemblathon 1 competition is described, which aimed to comprehensively assess the state of the art in de novo assembly methods when applied to current sequencing technologies, and it is established that it is possible to assemble the genome to a high level of coverage and accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome 10K: A Proposal to Obtain Whole-Genome Sequence for 10 000 Vertebrate Species

David Haussler, +69 more
- 01 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: A precipitous drop in costs and increase in sequencing efficiency is anticipated, with concomitant development of improved annotation technology, and it is proposed to create a collection of tissue and DNA specimens for 10,000 vertebrate species specifically designated for whole-genome sequencing in the very near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

An evolutionary arms race between KRAB zinc-finger genes ZNF91/93 and SVA/L1 retrotransposons

TL;DR: The data support a model where KZNF gene expansion limits the activity of newly emerged Retrotransposon classes, and this is followed by mutations in these retrotransposons to evade repression, a cycle of events that could explain the rapid expansion of lineage-specific KZ NF genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Track data hubs enable visualization of user-defined genome-wide annotations on the UCSC Genome Browser

TL;DR: Track data hubs provide an efficient mechanism for visualizing remotely hosted Internet-accessible collections of genome annotations and for the first time, individuals can use the complete browser feature set to view custom datasets without the overhead of setting up and maintaining a mirror.
