Achieving de novo scaffolding of chromosome-level haplotypes using Hi-C data

Abstract

To overcome key challenges in scaffolding chromosome-level haplotypes with Hi-C data, we developed HapHiC, a Hi-C scaffolding tool that exhibits superior performance in handling haplotype-resolved assemblies without the need for reference genomes. We used HapHiC to construct the complex genome of triploid Miscanthus × giganteus.
