The web‐based genome evaluation browser gEVAL (geval.sanger.ac.uk) has been used extensively to<br />
curate and improve assemblies from reference consensus standards to novel draft genomes. However<br />
despite the wealth of evidential datasets available to aid in improving assemblies to gold standard<br />
such as clone ends, genetic markers or transcript models, there are still difficult regions in the genome<br />
that can’t be sequenced, finished and resolved.<br />
The single molecule genome mapping technology developed by Bionano Genomics, provides unbiased<br />
physical maps indicative of the genomic structure. By comparing these maps to an assembly, it can<br />
aid in both long range assembly correction as well as structural variant detection.<br />
gEVAL has integrated and aligned genome map datasets against the various human, mouse and<br />
zebrafish assemblies presently available in the browser. Whilst we also provide trackhubs<br />
(ngs.sanger.ac.uk/production/grit/track_hub/hub.txt), gEVAL’s representation of the aligned data<br />
was developed to allow users to easily identify regions of discordance between map(s) and assembly.<br />
This has been helpful in quickly sizing sequence gaps and resolving problematic regions such as<br />
those caused by repetitive elements.<br />
gEVAL hosts in‐house generated maps, as well as datasets for 4 human individuals (one trio plus<br />
one individual) from the Genome In A Bottle initiative (https://sites.stanford.edu/abms/giab). This<br />
aids not only the improvement of the human reference genome, but also provides a resource to help<br />
in identifying potential structural variation.<br />
