Appologies for not updating the blog recently, however I want to point out that the Tammar Genome has finally been published in Genome Biology! I contributed to the effort by developing a genome improvement algorithm to incorporate new sequencing data, and analyzing the repeats and small rna.
There is a nature blog post , and an Australian news article which gives a brief overview and links to other overviews. I will be starting a series of blog posts which should highlight my work for the tammar genome and give some insight into genome assembly and scaffolding in general.
