The combination of long reads and long-range information to produce genome assemblies is now accepted as a common standard. This strategy not only allows access to the gene catalogue of a given species but also reveals the architecture and organization of chromosomes, including complex regions such as telomeres and centromeres. The Brassica genus is not exempt, and many assemblies based on long reads are now available. The reference genome for Brassica napus, Darmor-bzh, which was published in 2014, was produced using short reads and its contiguity was extremely low compared with current assemblies of the Brassica genus.

甘蓝型油菜参考基因组 Darmor-bzh 的长读长组装


结合长读长和长程信息来产生基因组组装现在已被接受为通用标准。这种策略不仅允许访问给定物种的基因目录，而且还揭示了染色体的结构和组织，包括端粒和着丝粒等复杂区域。芸苔属也不例外，现在可以使用许多基于长读的组装。 2014 年发表的甘蓝型油菜参考基因组 Darmor-bzh 是使用短读段生成的，与当前甘蓝属的组装相比，其连续性极低。
