High-quality de novo assembly of the apple genome and methylome dynamics of early fruit development
Daccord et al.
Nature Genetics (2017) doi:10.1038/ng.3886
Using the latest sequencing and optical mapping technologies, we have produced a high-quality de novo assembly of the
We spent May 18-19 in Bad Urach
A great two days in Bad Urach, discussing not only exciting science, but also how we can improve ourselves as scientists, both individually and as a team.
