New! The Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV) Dot Plot
Get a High-Level View of Assembly-Assembly Alignments New feature! We added an alternate view in the Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV) that shows a dot plot (also known as a 2D plot) comparing two related genome assemblies. This added view provides a high-level overview of the assembly-assembly alignment. Dot plots help you find large genome rearrangements … Continue reading New!

Can Studying Viruses Help Us Understand the Evolution of Life?
One fascinating question my group asked was, might it be possible to peer into the distant past and figure out what viruses were infecting our distant ancestors? Our conclusions were rather remarkable.
Important Update! Changes to ASSEMBLY_REPORTS and GENOME_REPORTS on FTP
Do you currently access genome assembly data through the FTP site? We are consolidating information provided in the ASSEMBLY_REPORTS and GENOME_REPORTS directories on the genomes FTP site to simplify access and ensure that you have the most accurate, up to date, and consistently reported data. The assembly_summary files in the ASSEMBLY_REPORTS directory are gaining information … Continue reading Important Update! Changes to ASSEMBLY_REPORTS and GENOME_REPORTS on FTP
