Having a reference genome from Dovetail has been great. The large scaffold size allows us to jump straight in to analyses. From detecting peaks of divergence to describing structural variants, such a high quality reference has been essential for all of our work on non-model organisms
Our experience with Dovetail was absolutely fantastic. Excellent communication and service throughout. We have received three amazing assemblies for different sparrow species, based on PacBio sequencing and Omni-C scaffolding. This will allow our investigation of the genetics underlying seasonal breeding patterns and resilience to environmental change. Highly recommended!
I have received a Dovetail Genome Assembly Award for the genome of a diploid species of Australian burrowing frogNeobatrachus pictusat the end of last year. Working with Dovetail on this project has been very efficient, after sending them tissue material both Dovetail and Chicago libraries has been done in a matter of weeks. The resulted HiRise assembly improved the scaffold N50 from 40 kb to 227.9 Mb, which is simply amazing and makes my further population genomics research onNeobatrachusgenus finally possible.
