Hybrid genome assembly

Hybrid genome assembly is a technique that combines multiple sequencing technologies to generate a more accurate and complete representation of an organism's genome. This approach typically merges the high accuracy of short-read sequencing (like Illumina) with the longer reads produced by technologies such as Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) or Oxford Nanopore. Here are the main components and benefits of hybrid genome assembly: ### Components: 1. **Short-Read Sequencing**: - High-throughput and cost-effective.
