Ren et al. (2018) report C. nigoni genome sequence assembly and improved C. briggsae assembly
Ren et al. (2018). Genomic basis of recombination suppression in the hybrid between Caenorhabditis briggsae and C. nigoni. Nucleic Acid Research. https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/46/3/1295/4793371 The cb4 C. briggsae assembly contains 5,997 gaps (represented by ‘Ns’) and 361 contigs not anchored to any chromosome (‘unassigned’). Ren et al. filled 2,304 gaps by replacing ~240 kbs on six chromosomes […]
