Recent advances in optical mapping have allowed the construction of improved genome
assemblies with greater contiguity. Optical mapping also enables genome comparison and …

The computational reconstruction of genome sequences from shotgun sequencing data has
been greatly simplified by the advent of sequencing technologies that generate long reads …

Background Microbial inhabitants of soils are important to ecosystem and planetary
functions, yet there are large gaps in our knowledge of their diversity and ecology. The …

Abstract Ocean Sampling Day was initiated by the EU-funded Micro B3 (Marine Microbial
Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) project to obtain a snapshot of the marine …

Motivation Optical mapping is a technique for capturing fluorescent signal patterns of long
DNA molecules (in the range of 0.1–1 Mbp). Recently, it has been complementing the widely …

Optical mapping has been widely used to improve de novo plant genome assemblies,
including rice, maize, Medicago, Amborella, tomato and wheat, with more genomes in the …

Genome mapping produces fingerprints of DNA sequences to construct a physical map of
the whole genome. It provides contiguous, long-range information that complements and, in …

The co-authors of this paper hereby state their intention to work together to launch the
Genomic Observatories Network (GOs Network) for which this document will serve as its …

Motivation: A crucial problem in genome assembly is the discovery and correction of
misassembly errors in draft genomes. We develop a method called misSEQuel that …

Optical mapping and newer genome mapping technologies based on nicking enzymes
provide low resolution but long-range genomic information. The optical mapping technique …
