Primary genome assembly and comparative analysis of the female platypus Glennie; assembly and annotation limitations remain explicit.
Claim ledger
topology · mediumThe approximately sixfold whole-genome assembly from the female platypus Glennie combined 26.9 million reads into a 1.84-gigabase draft and comparative annotations; these data sample one individual and do not directly reconstruct an ancestral monotreme genome or prove single-gene causes for organismal traits.
