From contigs towards chromosomes: automatic improvement of long read assemblies (ILRA)

The process of assembling a genome can be challenging due to multiple factors, such as variable sample quality and sequencing depth, or large numbers of repeats and/or low complexity regions. These may produce larger numbers of contigs or lower consensus quality. In response, next-generation sequencing techniques have undergone impressive development over the last few years, achieving unparalleled resolution and performance [1].

CRISPR/Cas9-engineered inducible gametocyte producer lines as a valuable tool for Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission research - Nature Communications

By Van Gemert, Swiss Tropical, Taco W. A, Nicolas M. B
| Nature Verified
Abstract The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum replicates inside erythrocytes in the blood of infected humans. During each replication cycle, a small proportion of parasites commits to sexual development and differentiates into gametocytes, which are essential for parasite transmission via the mosquito vector. Detailed molecular investigation of gametocyte biology and transmission has been hampered by difficulties in generating large numbers of these highly specialised cells.
