SNP errors in maize

Whole genome assemblies of the NAM maize inbred lines were each aligned to the v5 reference genome using Anchorwave.  These were compared to SNPs identified from short-read data published with the original NAM assemblies. Short read SNPs were identified as erroneous if they overlapped with a deletion identified via whole genome assembly. The histogram shows the distribution of error rates across the NAM assemblies.</p
