🧬 The PippinHT was part of the library prep behind the most complete vanilla genome to date — the first V. planifolia assembly anchored to all 16 chromosome pairs, out in BMC Genomics. SMRTbell libraries were size-selected at a 6 kb high-pass cutoff before PacBio HiFi. Open access:

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Vanilla planifolia uncovers the genomic architecture underlying partial endoreplication - BMC Genomics
Background Partial endoreplication is a prominent developmental feature and poses a significant challenge for whole genome assembly in orchids. This form of cell cycle results in highly unbalanced cel...
