Improving plant genome assemblies with Pore-C

Written by Oxford Nanopore
PCR and sequencing Whole-genome studies

High-quality plant genome sequences are critical for research into plant evolution, breeding and conservation. However, plant genomes can be large and highly repetitive, making the process of genome assembly difficult using traditional technologies.

This workflow presents the scaffolding of a plant genome assembly to the chromosome scale.
