Motivation: Genomics has revolutionized biological research, but quality assessment of the
resulting assembled sequences is complicated and remains mostly limited to technical …

Methods for evaluating the quality of genomic and metagenomic data are essential to aid
genome assembly procedures and to correctly interpret the results of subsequent analyses. …

The recent sequencing of twelve insect genomes has enabled us to quantify their divergence
using synteny conservation and sequence identity of single-copy orthologs. Protein identity …

Anopheles gambiae is the principal vector of malaria, a disease that afflicts more than 500
million people and causes more than 1 million deaths each year. Tenfold shotgun sequence …

… The authors would like to thank all members of the Zdobnov laboratory and our enthusiastic
users who have made suggestions to improve the codebase, requested new lineage-…

Genomics drives the current progress in molecular biology, generating unprecedented volumes
of data. The scientific value of these sequences depends on the ability to evaluate their …

Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model
organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored …

We describe the draft genome of the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex, which is only 200
megabases and contains at least 30,907 genes. The high gene count is a consequence of an …

We present a draft sequence of the genome of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for yellow
fever and dengue fever, which at ∼1376 million base pairs is about 5 times the size of the …

To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to
about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a …
