Show abstract
High-quality nanopore genome assemblies were generated for two Brassica nigra genotypes (Ni100 and CN115125); a member of the agronomically important Brassica species. The N50 contig length for the two assemblies were 17.1 Mb (58 contigs) and 0.29 Mb (963 contigs), respectively, reflecting recent improvements in the technology. Comparison with a de novo short read assembly for Ni100 corroborated genome integrity and quantified sequence related error rates (0.002%). The contiguity and coverage allowed unprecedented access to low complexity regions of the genome. Pericentromeric regions and coincidence of hypo-methylation enabled localization of active centromeres and identified a novel centromere-associated ALE class I element which appears to have proliferated through relatively recent nested transposition events (<1 million years ago). Computational abstraction was used to define a post-triplication Brassica specific ancestral genome and to calculate the extensive rearrangements that define the genomic distance separating B. nigra from its diploid relatives.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
