Virtual genome walking across the 32 Gb Ambystoma mexicanum genome; assembling gene models and intronic sequence
(2018)
Journal Article
Large repeat rich genomes present challenges for assembly using short read technologies. The 32 Gb axolotl genome is estimated to contain ~19 Gb of repetitive DNA making an assembly from short reads alone effectively impossible. Indeed, this model sp...
