After sequencing fragments of DNA to obtain reads, most genomic pipelines follow one of two steps. The reads can be de novo assembled to construct longer stretches called contigs from scratch, with ...

Critically endangered species need intensive conservation efforts to prevent them from becoming extinct. Access to high-quality reference genomes helps researchers make informed decisions about ...

Both Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are powerful tools for genomic analysis that are commonplace in labs around the world. Choosing the best technique is important and will ...
