Before revision: Due to their complexity, the plants ’ genome sequences can't be assembled back into chromosomes using only short reads provided by next-generation- sequencing technologies (NGS), and therefore most plant genome assemblies available that used NGS alone are highly fragmented, contain large numbers of contigs, and genome regions are not finished.
