A new genome for regeneration research: The Planarian Genome decoded

The Dresden genome center has been part of a collaborative effort to sequence the genome of the Schmidtea mediterranea. To overcome the challenge of this exceptionally repetitive genome, the research groups of Jochen Rink and Eugene Myers at the MPI-CBG and Siegfried Schloissnig at HITS utilized Pacific Bioscience’s long-read sequencing technology, situated at the Dresden Genome Center, to sequence and assemble this highly repetitive genome.
