Arabidopsis thaliana assemblies

Here we provide the genome sequences of four Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. The sequences are assembled from Illumina sequence reads only accounting for ~50 to 200x genome coverage. We used two to three different sequencing libraries per genome at varying insert size lengths (200bp to 5kb).

The assembly process followed a homology-guided strategy in order to make use of the Col-0 reference sequence, though excluding the centromeres (as defined by Clark et al, Science, 2007).
