Comparison of maize B73 HERA assembly and RefGen_v4. a The comparison of HERA assembled B73 genome with the published B73 RefGen_v4. The top green horizontal bar represents RefGen_v4 and the bottom blue horizontal bar represents the HERA assembly. Each black triangle represents a sequence gap. The red vertical bars represent the >10 kb InDels that were present in the contigs of RefGen_v4. The purple vertical bars represent the >10 kb InDels introduced by HERA with the orange vertical bars showing the positions of the corresponding gaps in RefGen_v4. b An example of gap filling and sequence correction by HERA. The green horizontal bars represent the maize genome sequences and the blue horizontal bars represent BioNano maps. The upper panel is the alignment between RefGen_v4 and BioNano maps, and the lower panel is the alignment between the HERA assembly and BioNano maps. The gaps (right red box in the upper panel) in RefGen_v4 were filled with ‘N’s, which were correctly assembled by HERA. The inserted sequence in the left red box was not present in the HERA assembly.
