We present an improved genome assembly of the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea (Engelm.) Britton & Rose), obtained by incorporating long-read PacBio data to the existing short reads. The assembly improves in terms of total size, contiguity, and accuracy, allowing to extend the range of sequence analyses beyond the single-gene scale. Consequently, the assembly is 16% larger and has 20% more genes, expanding the resources for a neglected yet very remarkable plant family such as Cactaceae.

Britton & Rose) (also known as saguaro cactus) (NCBI txid: 171969).

"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.
