Long- and short-read RNA sequencing for ape genome annotation
Long-read (PacBio Iso-Seq) and short-read (Illumina-based RNA-seq) RNA sequencing were performed for the purpose of genome annotation. The target genomes are cell lines sequenced for telomere-to-telomere genome references: bonobo (Pan paniscus), chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii), Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus), and hoolock (Hoolock leuconedys).
