As a successful follow-on from the GIH funded project "Spatial genomics technologies to study cancer and genetic diseases in tissue contexts", contributing author and team members Stacey Andersen, and Dr Sohye Yoon assisted with experimental set up including library preparation and sequencing on the NextSeq500 (Illumina) instrument for data utilised in this publication.

The M. jansenii genome has been used as a model for testing sequencing methods using a wide range of long read sequencing techniques. Here, we report a chromosome level genome assembly, generated using a combination of Pacific Biosciences sequencing and Hi-C, comprising 14 pseudo-molecules, with a N50 of 52 Mb and a total genome assembly size of 758 Mb of which 56% is repetitive.

As one of the sucessful outcomes from the GIH funded collaborative project Simultaneous identification of RNA-chromatin interactions and transcriptomes in single cells, contributing author and team member of both GIH and the UQ Sequencing Facilty, Stacey Andersen, performed sequencing on the NextSeq of the Illumina libraries and reviewed the manuscript.
