From: Contrasting new and available reference genomes to highlight uncertainties in assemblies and areas for future improvement: an example with monodontid species

Fig. 1

Hi-C contact matrices for (A) Delphinapterus leucas (beluga) and (B) Monodon monoceros (narwhal) PacBio assemblies. The blue boxes delineate super scaffolds, which are assigned to chromosomes based on contact densities. C Most chromosomes must be broken into several super scaffolds due to breaks in densities and ambiguous ordering of large domains. D Localized misassemblies also require rigorous and comprehensive manual intervention. Here, a block of inverted contigs requires correction. Moreover, a break in contact densities suggests there are missing sequences (likely allocated to debris) that ought to be incorporated; regional contact densities may nonetheless support scaffolding at this junction
