Abstract:Background
Reference sequences play a vital role in next-generation sequencing (NGS), impacting mapping quality during genome analyses. However, reference genomes usually do not represent the full range of genetic diversity of a species as a result of geographical divergence and independent demographic events of different populations. For the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome), which occurs in high copy numbers in cells and is strictly maternally inherited, an optimal reference sequence has the … Show more
