De Novo Assembly of a New Solanum pennellii Accession Using Nanopore Sequencing
De Novo Assembly of a New Solanum pennellii Accession Using Nanopore Sequencing is a scholarly work by Florian Maumus, Benjamin Istace, Christian Pfaff, Ulrich Schurr, Roger Chetelat, Jean-Marc Aury, Sergey Koren, Björn Usadel, Alisdair R Fernie, Anthony M. Bolger, Saleh Alseekh, Marie E Bolger, Dani Zamir, Alisandra K Denton, Alexandra Wormit, and Henri van de Geest, published in 2017 in ''The Plant Cell''. The main subjects of the publication include whole genome sequencing, Minion, nanopore, Hybrid genome assembly, plant pathology, genome, reference genome, polyploidy, nanopore sequencing, sequence assembly, biology, software pipeline, accession number, Solanum pennellii, illumina dye sequencing, computational biology, RNA sequencing, and contig. The authors obtained a gene completeness of 96.53%, slightly surpassing that of the reference S. pennellii Taken together, the authors' data indicate that such long read sequencing data can be used to affordably sequence and assemble gigabase-sized plant genomes.
