Reads partitioning (binning) assembly approach. The primary assembly obtained in Hifiasm regular mode was used as a reference. After aligning read data from ONT, PacBio HiFi, Hi-C, and Illumina to reference (1), heterozygous variants were called (2a), and haplotype-specific reads were extracted using WhatsHap (2b). Partitioned reads (3) were then de novo assembled into two distinct genome assemblies, one for each haplotype (4).
