GenomeScope 2.0 and Smudgeplot for reference-free profiling of polyploid genomes

Prior to genome assembly, the raw sequencing reads must be analyzed for assessment of major genome characteristics such as genome size, heterozygosity, and repetitiveness. For this purpose, the authors introduce GenomeScope 2.0, an extension of GenomeScope for polyploid genomes, and Smudgeplot, whic...

Description
Summary:Prior to genome assembly, the raw sequencing reads must be analyzed for assessment of major genome characteristics such as genome size, heterozygosity, and repetitiveness. For this purpose, the authors introduce GenomeScope 2.0, an extension of GenomeScope for polyploid genomes, and Smudgeplot, which can estimate a genome’s ploidy.
