a, Workflow for genome construction. b, Ideograms of maize B73 version 4 reference pseudomolecules. The top track shows positions of 2,522 gaps in the pseudomolecules, including 1,115 gaps in which the lengths were estimated using optical genome maps (orange), whereas the remainder (purple) have undetermined lengths. More than half of the assembly is constituted of contigs longer than 1 Mb, which are shown as light grey bars in the bottom track.
