Journal ArticleDOI

A large genome center's improvements to the Illumina sequencing system.

TL;DR: A set of improvements are described to the standard Illumina protocols to make the library preparation more reliable in a high-throughput environment, to reduce bias, tighten insert size distribution and reliably obtain high yields of data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying and removing haplotypic duplication in primary genome assemblies.

TL;DR: A novel tool, purge_dups, is presented, that uses sequence similarity and read depth to automatically identify and remove both haplotigs and heterozygous overlaps and can reduce heter allele duplication and increase assembly continuity while maintaining completeness of the primary assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into hominid evolution from the gorilla genome sequence

Aylwyn Scally, +74 more
- 08 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: A comparison of protein coding genes reveals approximately 500 genes showing accelerated evolution on each of the gorilla, human and chimpanzee lineages, and evidence for parallel acceleration, particularly of genes involved in hearing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assemblathon 2: evaluating de novo methods of genome assembly in three vertebrate species

Keith Bradnam, +95 more
- 23 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The Assemblathon 2 as mentioned in this paper presented a variety of sequence data to be assembled for three vertebrate species (a bird, a fish, and a snake) from 21 participating teams.
