TGACv2: A new version of TGAC wheat assembly scaffolded by 40Kb fosill mate-pairs. TGACv2_Fosill

We used newly generated 40Kb Fosill mate-pairs to join the scaffolds of TGACv1 wheat assembly (doi: 10.1101/gr.217117.116) for each chromosome arm in hexaploid wheat Triticum aestivum Chinese spring 42. The updated version was name TGACv2. This new version joined those scaffolds within a distance of 40Kb, and make the scaffolds longer. Substantial increases in scaffold N50 of between 2.7 - 3.2-fold were achieved. The largest scaffolds increased is size between 1.5 - 3.2-fold, with the largest scaffold of 2.8 Mb on chromosome 3B.
