Taking advantage of reference-guided assembly in a slowly-evolving lineage: application to testudo graeca

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: In the face of the conservation status of the Testudo species (and all other turtles and tortoises, with more than 50% of its species considered as Threatened ) and the singularity of the phylogeographic history of T. graeca throughout the Mediterranean, a reference genome for Testudo will greatly contribute to all future studies aimed at the conservation and better understanding of tortoises. The work demonstrates the efficiency of the reference-guided assembly to create accurate de novo reference genomes that can serve for future studies. To confirm the efficiency of this approach, the authors examined the completeness . . .
