Special thanks to the UM Advanced Research Computing group who enabled this study, all the researchers who generated valuable genomics tools, and Bill Ballard for leading the effort.

The best genome had several contigs that spanned centromeres, giving us a look at their structure and position relative to chromosome ends.

We were able to make phase-resolved genomes, that permitted pan-genome approaches to look at genome variation, finding extensive allelic heterogeneity among mobile element sequences
