Sequencing the Falcon genome: Long-Read Technology Maps Avian Evolution
Scientists have generated highly complete, chromosome-level genome assemblies for two falcon species using long-read sequencing. By overcoming the limitations of older short-read methods, the study exposes how repetitive DNA elements drive structural variation in raptors.
