Depth and evenness of sequencing coverage are considered potential indicators of genome assembly quality. In plastid genomics, where new data generation has outpaced the development of assembly ...

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) delivers deep insights into genetics, but its reliability depends on aligning coverage depth and uniformity with the study’s goals. Current research and practical guides ...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oilseed crop with diverse uses and the potential for genetic improvement. This study aimed to optimize genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) for safflower ...
