TL;DR: Pilon is a fully automated, all-in-one tool for correcting draft assemblies and calling sequence variants of multiple sizes, including very large insertions and deletions, which is being used to improve the assemblies of thousands of new genomes and to identify variants from thousands of clinically relevant bacterial strains.

TL;DR: A high-quality draft genome sequence of the domestic dog is reported, together with a dense map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across breeds, to shed light on the structure and evolution of genomes and genes.

TL;DR: The development of an algorithm for genome assembly, ALLPATHS-LG, and its application to massively parallel DNA sequence data from the human and mouse genomes, generated on the Illumina platform, have good accuracy, short-range contiguity, long-range connectivity, and coverage of the genome.

TL;DR: The sequence of chromosome 2 from the Columbia ecotype is reported in two gap-free assemblies (contigs) of 3.6 and 16 megabases, which represents the longest published stretch of uninterrupted DNA sequence assembled from any organism to date.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the genomic basis of vectorial capacity and explore new avenues for vector control, sequenced the genomes of 16 anopheline mosquito species from diverse locations spanning ~100 million years of evolution Comparative analyses show faster rates of gene gain and loss, elevated gene shuffling on the X chromosome, and more intron losses, relative to Drosophila.
