Global exact optimisations for chloroplast structural haplotype scaffolding.
Article in Algorithms for molecular biology : AMB, 2024. 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
backgroundScaffolding is an intermediate stage of fragment assembly. It consists in orienting and ordering the contigs obtained by the assembly of the sequencing reads. In the general case, the problem has been largely studied with the use of distances data between the contigs. Here we focus on a dedicated scaffolding for the chloroplast genomes. As these genomes are small, circular and with few specific repeats, numerous approaches have been proposed to assemble them. However, their specificities have not been sufficiently exploited.
resultsWe give a new formulation for the scaffolding in the case of chloroplast genomes as a discrete optimisation problem, that we prove the decision version to be [Formula: see text]-Complete. We take advantage of the knowledge of chloroplast genomes and succeed in expressing the relationships between a few specific genomic repeats in mathematical constraints. Our approach is independent of the distances and adopts a genomic regions view, with the priority on scaffolding the repeats first. In this way, we encode the structural haplotype issue in order to retrieve several genome forms that coexist in the same chloroplast cell. To solve exactly the optimisation problem, we develop an integer linear program that we implement in Python3 package khloraascaf. We test it on synthetic data to investigate its performance behaviour and its robustness against several chosen difficulties.
conclusionsWe succeed to model biological knowledge on genomic structures to scaffold chloroplast genomes. Our results suggest that modelling genomic regions is sufficient for scaffolding repeats and is suitable for finding several solutions corresponding to several genome forms.
