A representation of the genome assembly method The genetic information necessary for an organism to maintain its vital activities is called a genome. In genome decoding, DNA is extracted from individual cells, fragmented, and analyzed. The DNA sequence fragments are then reconstructed to obtain a genome assembly. Animals that reproduce sexually inherit one set of genome from the mother and one from the father. A set of genomic information derived from one parent is called a haplotype. (i) In experimental organisms with established strains or species with small genetic diversity, an individual possesses two sets of nearly identical genomes. Thus, the haplotype-merged genome assembly will be similar to both the two sets of genomes of the original individual. (ii) In organisms with high genetic diversity, such as wild animals, there are large differences in DNA sequences among haplotypes. Using conventional methods results in a genome assembly with a mixture of two haplotypes. It can lose genomic information. (iii) In this study, longer and more accurate DNA sequences were obtained by using the latest sequencer. The two haplotypes were reconstructed separately.

Typhoon Choi Wan captured by satellite as it passed through the Eastern Philippine Sea in September 2009. Heaviness of rainfall around the typhoon’s center is marked by red, green and blue in that order. Areas with the heaviest rainfall, in red and green are around the central column. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite which captured the image is a joint mission between NASA and JAXA. Image source: NASA Earth Observatory. CHEP Lunch Benches CHEP 2015 participants enjoyed lunch boxes at OIST. Promoter Interactions A graphic shows how many more promoter interactions (purples arcs) are captured by the Capture Hi-C method (second track) versus the regular Hi-C method (first track). The interactions from a single promoter (third track) reach numerous other DNA segments, some that are more than one million base pairs apart on the liner sequence.
