Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biological information, in particular to a method and system for assembling genome sequences. Background technique
[0002] Illumina's next-generation sequencing technology, with its high energy and accuracy, has become the preferred platform for many scientific research sites. At present, its average read length is 100bp-300bp. Due to its high energy and low cost, it has greatly advanced With the development of bioinformatics, many genomes are studied based on this platform. However, due to the limitation of read length, and complex genomes contain many high GC and highly repetitive regions, Illumina's performance in the assembly of these genomes is not ideal.
[0003] PacBio RSII is currently the most mature third-generation sequencing platform on the market. Its average sequencing read length ranges from 2k at the beginning to 14k at present, and can span most of the repeating regions. It has great ad...

Embodiment Construction
[0041] Embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawings:
[0042] Efficient and fast de novo assembly helps to discover structural variations of large fragments, which is of great significance for understanding disease-related genomes and genetic changes of diseases with fusion genes, copy number variations, and large-scale structural variations. High-quality genome assemblies are also very important for genome annotation and comparative genome analysis. The method of the present invention makes full use of the advantage of the read length of the third-generation sequencer PacBio RSII, and combines the data generated by it with the accurate short-read data generated by the second-generation sequencer, so that the accuracy of the genome assembly results is greatly improved, The average length of assembled contigs is more than twice that obtained by second-generation sequencers.
