Our genome assembly broke @ncbi! We recently submitted the genome of the endangered White Bark Pine, which has 4 scaffolds that are longer than > 2,147,483,647 bp, which is the largest integer for a 32-bit int (2^31 - 1). So we have to break them and re-submit

Steven Salzberg 💙💛 NCBI We had the same issue with a salamander genome. Luckily when we cut a scaffold in half it didn’t regenerate. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
