Description

This Lens nigricans assembly was constructed with long-read Oxford nanopore data. Contigs were initially assigned their pseudomolecule position based on a reference-guided assembly with the Ler.1DRT assembly, and further validated and improved using HiC data in Juicebox. The finished assembly is 2.77 Gb arranged in 7 pseudo-molecules (96.9% of the genome sequence) and 1445 unplaced unitigs.

Analysis Method

Using the GenomeFocus workflow, long reads were assembled with smartdenovo and polished with racon. Due to the lack of a genetic map for L. nigricans, contigs were initially assigned pseudomolecule position based on a reference-guided assembly with L. ervoides Ler.1DRT assembly as the reference. This reference-guided assembly was done with the 'scaffold' command in RagTag. ALLHIC rescue was used to anchor the remaining contigs, and a final manual check was made with Juicebox.
