Improved reconstruction and comparative analysis of chromosome 12 to rectify Mis-assemblies in Gossypium arboreum.
Article in BMC genomics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGenome sequencing technologies have been improved at an exponential pace but precise chromosome-scale genome assembly still remains a great challenge. The draft genome of cultivated G. arboreum was sequenced and assembled with shotgun sequencing approach, however, it contains several misassemblies. To address this issue, we generated an improved reassembly of G. arboreum chromosome 12 using genetic mapping and reference-assisted approaches and evaluated this reconstruction by comparing with homologous chromosomes of G. raimondii and G. hirsutum.
resultsIn this study, we generated a high quality assembly of the 94.64 Mb length of G. arboreum chromosome 12 (A_A12) which comprised of 144 scaffolds and contained 3361 protein coding genes. Evaluation of results using syntenic and collinear analysis of reconstructed G. arboreum chromosome A_A12 with its homologous chromosomes of G. raimondii (D_D08) and G. hirsutum (AD_A12 and AD_D12) confirmed the significant improved quality of current reassembly as compared to previous one. We found major misassemblies in previously assembled chromosome 12 (A_Ca9) of G. arboreum particularly in anchoring and orienting of scaffolds into a pseudo-chromosome. Further, homologous chromosomes 12 of G. raimondii (D_D08) and G. arboreum (A_A12) contained almost equal number of transcription factor (TF) related genes, and showed good collinear relationship with each other. As well, a higher rate of gene loss was found in corresponding homologous chromosomes of tetraploid (AD_A12 and AD_D12) than diploid (A_A12 and D_D08) cotton, signifying that gene loss is likely a continuing process in chromosomal evolution of tetraploid cotton.
conclusionThis study offers a more accurate strategy to correct misassemblies in sequenced draft genomes of cotton which will provide further insights towards its genome organization.
