Beautiful work by @nadiahaghani.bsky.social and @mollyschumer.bsky.social on perhaps the most charismatic coloration trait in swordtails and platys!

Already seeing big improvements by combining PacBio and ONT Ultralong reads!
Two plots of swordtail genome assemblies generated with PacBio HiFi only and HiFi plus ONT UL data. Black dots represent dots and red dots represent telomeres. The HiFi-only assembly has multiple gaps per chromosome, while the HiFi plus ONT UL assembly has only 2 gaps and is missing only 3 telomeres
