Hello,
I am trying to interpret my k-mer graph which indicates that my organism might be tetraploid. However, I cannot find any good tetraploid NGS data to compare to. All plants are usually either multiple pooled individuals or at a very low coverage.
Ideally, I am looking for something sequenced at 70x and higher, and consisting of one individual sequenced, not pool-seq. Also, the organism would need to be an autotetraploid, not allotetraploid, as the former is what I am working with.
Let me know if you have seen such a dataset. Usually plant genome data, such as data for the potato genome is unusable because they are double monoploid strains.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
