A fully phased accurate assembly of an individual human genome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The prevailing genome assembly paradigm is to produce consensus sequences that “collapse” parental haplotypes into a consensus sequence. Here, we leverage the chromosome-wide phasing and scaffolding capabilities of single-cell strand sequencing (Strand-seq) 1,2 and combine them with high-fidelity (HiFi) long sequencing reads 3 , in a novel reference-free workflow for diploid de novo genome assembly. Employing this strategy, we produce completely phased de novo genome assemblies separately for each haplotype of a single individual of Puerto Rican origin (HG00733) in the absence of parental data. The assemblies are accurate (QV > 40), highly contiguous (contig N50 > 25 Mbp) with low switch error rates (0.4%) providing fully phased single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, and structural variants (SVs). A comparison of Oxford Nanopore and PacBio phased assemblies identifies 150 regions that are preferential sites of contig breaks irrespective of sequencing technology or phasing algorithms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
