Identifying and removing haplotypic duplication in primary genome assemblies

TL;DR: This work presents a novel tool “purge_dups” that uses sequence similarity and read depth to automatically identify and remove both haplotigs and heterozygous overlaps and shows that it can reduce heterozygus duplication and increase assembly continuity while maintaining completeness of the primary assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vertebrate gene finding from multiple-species alignments using a two-level strategy

TL;DR: DOGFISH is described, a vertebrate gene finder consisting of a cleanly separated site classifier and structure predictor that predicts transcripts and exons across the whole human genome, and identifies over 10,000 high confidence new coding exons not in the Ensembl gene set.

trio-sga: facilitating de novo assembly of highly heterozygous genomes with parent-child trios

TL;DR: Tripathi et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a set of three algorithms to reduce heterozygosity in genomic data prior to assembly in organisms with moderate to high levels of homozygosity.
