Assembly of complete diploid-phased chromosomes from draft genome sequences.

ABSTRACT: De novo genome assembly is essential for genomic research. High-quality genomes assembled into phased pseudomolecules are challenging to produce and often contain assembly errors because of repeats, heterozygosity, or the chosen assembly strategy. Although algorithms that produce partially phased assemblies exist, haploid draft assemblies that may lack biological information remain favored because they are easier to generate and use. We developed HaploSync, a suite of tools that produces fully phased, chromosome-scale diploid genome assemblies, and performs extensive quality control to limit assembly artifacts. HaploSync scaffolds sequences from a draft diploid assembly into phased pseudomolecules guided by a genetic map and/or the genome of a closely related species. HaploSync generates a
