Chromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation of Octodon degus.

High-quality reference genomes are essential for comparative and functional genomics yet remain unavailable for many emerging model organisms. Here, we report OctDeg2.0, a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the degu (Octodon degus), generated using PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding f...

A pangenomic method for establishing a synthetic somatic variant resource in HapMap mixtures.

Evaluating multiple callers showed that telomere-to-telomere CHM13 alignment improves structural variant detection and offers advantages in difficult-to-map regions compared to GRCh38, and a binomial-based model was developed to estimate coverage requirements for variant detection.

Pangenome-resolved polymorphic transposable elements reveal human regulatory evolution in action

Transposable elements are a major source of gene-regulatory functions. Yet this contribution is understood largely from ancient insertions already fixed in the genome: the successes, seen long after the fact. The polymorphic phase before fixation or loss remains poorly resolved because such alleles could be scored only...

Human panepigenome represents epigenomic diversity

The human pangenome captures genetic diversity beyond a single linear reference, yet conventional DNA methylome maps largely assume that the underlying CpG substrate is fixed. Here we present a first draft of the human panepigenome on DNA methylation, generated from 440 haplotype-resolved long-read methylomes spanning...

HPRC2: A human pangenome reference with near-complete coverage of common genetic variation

The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium’s (HPRC) Release 2 (HPRC2) is presented, an openly available, second phase pangenome that is an approximately fivefold expansion in genome number over HPRC Release 1 (HPRC1) and measurable improvement in genome completeness, contiguity, and accuracy.
