The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies and annotations for two pigeon species using long-read sequencing of an F1 hybrid, improving genomic resources for comparative genomics and functional studies.

The paper improves a telomere-to-telomere human genome assembly by developing a repeat-aware polishing strategy, fixing 51% of errors and increasing assembly quality.

A gapless 3.055 billion bp human genome from HiFi and ultra-long nanopore reads resolves all centromeric arrays and acrocentric p-arms, adding 182 Mbp of new sequence.

The paper summarizes methods and lessons from assembling 16 vertebrate genomes, highlights the importance of long-read sequencing, and introduces the Vertebrate Genomes Project to generate complete reference genomes for all vertebrate species.

Graphmap2 improves transcript detection and exon boundary recognition using long-read RNA-seq data, outperforming existing tools in accuracy and recall.

The paper introduces a modified RNA mapper based on GraphMap for third-generation sequencing data, showing improved mapping quality over existing tools.
