Plantagora: Modeling Whole Genome Sequencing and Assembly of Plant Genomes

Abstract

Plantagora provides a substantial body of information for comparing different approaches to sequencing a plant genome, and some conclusions regarding some of the specific approaches. Plantagora also provides a platform of metrics and tools for studying the process of sequencing and assembly further.
