Abstract excerpt
Inbred animals were historically chosen for genome analysis to circumvent assembly issues caused by haplotype variation but this resulted in a composite of the two genomes. Here we report a haplotype-aware scaffolding and polishing pipeline which was used to create haplotype-resolved, chromosome-level genome assemblies of Angus (taurine) and Brahman (indicine) cattle subspecies from contigs generated by the trio...
