Misassembly

After computer assembly, a finishing phase ensues, wherein the gaps between assembled contigs are closed experimentally, and any misassembly is resolved.

Other, possibly significant, failure modes which are not addressed above include misinspection, misassembly, and other human factor effects.

We first searched for large-scale misassemblies, looking for gene duplication errors, phasing errors and interchromosomal misjoins[.]
