The Vertebrate Genomes Project: a new era of genome sequencing
High-quality reference genomes from 16 vertebrate species advances our understanding of biology and biodiversity. The Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) published a flagship study in the journal Nature, presenting high-quality, nearly error-free reference genomes of 16 vertebrate species. The DRESDEN-concept Genome Center contributed to this challenge with the sequencing and assembly of three species: the greater…

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…
