A Bos taurus sequencing methods benchmark for assembly, haplotyping, and variant calling.

ABSTRACT: Inspired by the production of reference data sets in the Genome in a Bottle project, we sequenced one Charolais heifer with different technologies: Illumina paired-end, Oxford Nanopore, Pacific Biosciences (HiFi and CLR), 10X Genomics linked-reads, and Hi-C. In order to generate haplotypic assemblies, we also sequenced both parents with short reads. From these data, we built two haplotyped trio high quality reference genomes and a consensus assembly, using up-to-date software packages. The assemblies obtained using PacBio HiFi reaches a size of 3.2 Gb, which is significantly larger than the 2.7 Gb ARS-UCD1.2 reference. The BUSCO score of the consensus assembly reaches a completeness of 95.8%, among highly conserved mammal genes. We also identified 35,866 structural variants larger than 50
