CloseRead: a tool for assessing assembly errors in immunoglobulin loci applied to vertebrate long-read genome assemblies
Despite tremendous advances in long-read sequencing, some structurally complex and repeat-rich genomic regions remain challenging to assemble. Furthermore, we lack tools to assess local assembly quality, making it hard to identify problems and assess progress. Here we develop a new approach “CloseRead” for visualizing local assembly quality and diagnosing errors using multiple metrics. We apply CloseRead to evaluate how well immunoglobulin loci, paradigmatic cases of structurally complex regions, are assembled in 74 state-of-the-art vertebrate genomes. We then show that targeted, local re-assembly can correct the specific errors identified by CloseRead, highlighting the value of an iterative approach to genome assembly.

期刊介绍:
Genome Biology stands as a premier platform for exceptional research across all domains of biology and biomedicine, explored through a genomic and post-genomic lens.
With an impressive impact factor of 12.3 (2022),* the journal secures its position as the 3rd-ranked research journal in the Genetics and Heredity category and the 2nd-ranked research journal in the Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology category by Thomson Reuters. Notably, Genome Biology holds the distinction of being the highest-ranked open-access journal in this category.
Our dedicated team of highly trained in-house Editors collaborates closely with our esteemed Editorial Board of international experts, ensuring the journal remains on the forefront of scientific advances and community standards. Regular engagement with researchers at conferences and institute visits underscores our commitment to staying abreast of the latest developments in the field.
