Resequencing of the common marmoset genome improves genome assemblies and gene-coding sequence analysis

The first draft of the common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) genome was published by the Marmoset Genome Sequencing and Analysis Consortium. The draft was based on whole-genome shotgun sequencing and the current assembly version is Callithrix_jacches-3.2.1, but there still exist 187,214 undetermined gap regions and supercontigs and relatively short contigs that are unmapped to chromosomes in the draft genome. We performed resequencing and...
