Abstract
Genome assembly errors can have a profound effect on downstream analyses. Collinearity-based Assembly Correction Tool (CATG) is designed to rectify these errors by leveraging collinearity information between the assembled genome and a reference genome. CATG provides a user-friendly interface for visualizing and manually correcting assembly errors. It supports various operations such as insertion, deletion, inversion, and swapping of contigs and chromosomes. The software automatically re-clusters, re-labels, and re-draws the assembly after each modification, ensuring that users can easily track changes. CATG is a robust tool designed to efficiently correct large-scale assembly errors in polyploid genomes, featuring advanced collinearity detection capabilities.
期刊介绍:
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics provides a forum for the publication of high‐quality foundational research, particularly research that generates useful genetic and genomic information such as genome maps, single gene studies, genome‐wide association and QTL studies, as well as genome reports, mutant screens, and advances in methods and technology. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of these data is the necessary foundation for analysis that leads to mechanistic insights.
G3, published by the Genetics Society of America, meets the critical and growing need of the genetics community for rapid review and publication of important results in all areas of genetics. G3 offers the opportunity to publish the puzzling finding or to present unpublished results that may not have been submitted for review and publication due to a perceived lack of a potential high-impact finding. G3 has earned the DOAJ Seal, which is a mark of certification for open access journals, awarded by DOAJ to journals that achieve a high level of openness, adhere to Best Practice and high publishing standards.
