Scientific Subcommittee: Sequencing and Assembly

The sequencing and assembly standards subcommittee will determine proposed standards for Phase I and future reference genome assemblies. Standards will inform on genome sequence generation, genome sequence assembly, and quality measurement, for genomes of all sizes, repeat content, and polymorphism level. Research areas for the remaining genome assembly problems will also be identified.
