10x Genomics, Inc. launched a new version of their de novo assembly solution to provide the fast most cost-effective solution for creating high-quality de novo assemblies at scale for plants and animals. Enhancements to the Chromium™ de novo Assembly Solution, including the new version of the assembly software, Supernova 2.0, will be presented at the International Plant and Animal Genome Conference 2018 (PAGXXVI) being held from January 13th to 17th in San Diego, CA. The de novo assembly solution supports high-throughput crop health, breeding, and other agrigenomic studies. With a low input DNA requirement of 1 ng and optimized DNA preparation protocols, researchers can create a high-quality de novo assembly from a single insect in as little as one week.
