Genome Assembly of Sorghum via Nanopore Sequencing and Optical Mapping
The advent of long-read sequencing technologies has greatly facilitated assemblies of large eukaryotic genomes. In this project, Oxford Nanopore sequences generated on a MinION sequencer were combined with BioNano Genomics Direct Label and Staining (DLS) optical maps to generate a chromosome-scale de novo assembly of the large and repeat-rich Sorghum bicolor Tx430 genome.
