Vertebrate genomes are billions of characters long ... The new technology was far better at reassembling segments of the genome, creating a more accurate and complete map. The open-source software is ...

For the first time, scientists have created a three-dimensional map of a vertebrate brain on a nanometer scale. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, and at this level, one can see individual ...

Two separate projects—the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP ... pipeline that combines PacBio high-fidelity (HiFi) reads with maps (either Hi-C or optical) to generate nearly complete assemblies.
