Inferring synteny between genome assemblies: a systematic evaluation.
Dang LiuMartin HuntIsheng Jason TsaiPublished in: BMC bioinformatics (2018)
Our results show that a minimum N50 of 1 Mb is required for robust downstream synteny analysis, which emphasizes the importance of gold standard genomes to the science community, and should be achieved given the current progress in sequencing technology.
