This paper compares genome assembly technologies for the potato species S. verrucosum, evaluating their completeness, accuracy, cost, and computational requirements.

The paper assesses and improves wheat genome assemblies using Fosill jumping libraries, finding that whole genome shotgun assemblies are more accurate than BAC-based ones.

KAT assesses quality and contamination in NGS data and assemblies using k-mer frequencies and GC composition without a reference.
