Comparative assessment shows the reliability of chloroplast genome assembly using RNA-seq

fperfect General information, Paper 21 December, 201821 December, 2018

Is it possible obtain the sequence of a chloroplast genome from a RNA-Seq? Yes, it is. In this paper, we use a software pipeline to produce quality chloroplast genomes from RNA and compare it with genomic DNA-derived cp genomes. Read more
