This study produces chromosome-level genome assemblies for Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis using long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding, improving reference-quality genomes and enabling identification of chromosomal inversion breakpoints.

The paper improves Anopheles genome assemblies using comparative genomics methods and experimental data, resulting in more contiguous and chromosomally anchored assemblies.

CAMSA merges scaffold assemblies from different methods, producing high-quality results faster than existing tools.

This paper introduces MGRA2, an improved tool for reconstructing ancestral genomes that handles gene gain/loss and higher breakpoint reuse, outperforming existing methods.
