These findings point to a generalised approach where oligomers or longer range assemblies of multiple light harvesting and/or redox proteins can be constructed in a manner that can be genetically-encoded, enabling the construction of new, designed bioenergetic systems in vivo or in vitro.
While this long-range assembly is extremely useful, regions assembled by inferring shared gene order with more complete amniote assemblies must be considered provisional, as synteny is not always conserved over large phylogenetic distances.

This should significantly enhance long-range assembly.
This physical map will help speed positional cloning in tilapia, and will facilitate the long-range assembly of a tilapia genome sequence.
In addition to the paired ends and mate pairs of DNA fragments, optical and genetic map data have been used to validate and guide the long-range assembly of chromosomes [ 4, 5].
This physical map is a powerful tool for accelerating genomic studies in cichlid fishes, including comparative mapping among fish species, long-range assembly of genomic shotgun sequences, and the positional cloning of genes underlying important phenotypic traits.
The physical map and other information presented here will help facilitate the long-range assembly of Aquilegia genome sequence and fine-scale mapping of QTLs as well as comparative genomic studies.
Because some transcriptome assemblers produce a meta-assembly, i.e. a set of contigs that has been produced by merging several independent assemblies generated with a range of assembly parameters [ 20, 21], a single event can be represented by multiple contigs.
We selected the best k-mer merge range for assembly based on the distribution of assembly statistics for the individual k-mer assemblies from k = 19 to k = 49 (see Table 1).
