The complete human diploid reference genome of RPE-1 identifies the phased epigenetic landscapes from multi-omics data

Luca Corda, Emilia Volpe, Hamza Dallali, Elena Di Tommaso, Alessio Colantoni, Andrea Guarracino, Sai Swaroop Chittoor, Mattia Capulli, Evelyne Tassone, Simona Giunta

The paper generates a complete diploid genome assembly for RPE-1 cells and uses it as a matched reference to improve multi-omics data analysis and identify haplotype-specific epigenetic variation.
