A chromosome-scale assembly of the sorghum genome using nanopore sequencing and optical mapping

A total of 141 conflicts in 83 ONT contigs were corrected during the hybrid map assembly process. Bionano corrections were checked by way of NUCmer v3.1 alignments of corrected ONT contigs to the v3.0 ...

Quasiparticle approach to diffusional atomic scale self-assembly of complex structures: from disorder to complex crystals and double-helix polymers

A self-organisation is an universal phenomenon in nature and, in particular, is highly important in materials systems. Our goal was to develop a new theory that provides a computationally effective ...
