Abstract The high-fidelity (HiFi) long-read sequencing technology developed by PacBio has greatly improved the base-level accuracy of genome assemblies. However, these assemblies still contain base-level errors, particularly within the error-prone regions of HiFi long reads. Existing genome polishing tools usually introduce overcorrections and haplotype switch errors when correcting errors in genomes assembled from HiFi long reads. Here we describe an upgraded genome polishing tool–NextPolish2, which can fix base errors remaining in those “highly accurate” genomes assembled from HiFi long reads without introducing excessive overcorrections and haplotype switch errors. We believe that NextPolish2 has a great significance to further improve the accuracy of telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genomes.

期刊介绍：
Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB) is the official journal of the Beijing Institute of Genomics, Chinese Academy of Sciences / China National Center for Bioinformation and Genetics Society of China. It aims to disseminate new developments in the field of omics and bioinformatics, publish high-quality discoveries quickly, and promote open access and online publication. GPB welcomes submissions in all areas of life science, biology, and biomedicine, with a focus on large data acquisition, analysis, and curation. Manuscripts covering omics and related bioinformatics topics are particularly encouraged. GPB is indexed/abstracted by PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts, CSCD, among others.
