Telomere-to-telomere gapless chromosomes of banana using nanopore sequencing

Belser, Baurens et al. report a chromosome-scale assembly of a banana genome (Musa acuminata) with five out of eleven chromosomes entirely reconstructed in a single contig from telomere to telomere. This work sheds light on the content of complex regions like centromeres or clusters of paralogous ge...
