Mapping-based genome size estimation

Abstract While the size of chromosomes can be measured under a microscope, obtaining the exact size of a genome remains a challenge. Biochemical methods and k-mer distribution-based approaches allow only estimations. An alternative approach to estimate the genome size based on high contiguity assemb...
