  Editors Assessment:

  This Data Release paper presents an updated genome assembly of the doubled haploid perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) genotype Kyuss (Kyuss v2.0). To correct for structural the authors de novo assembled the genome again with ONT long-reads and generated 50-fold coverage high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data to assist pseudo-chromosome construction. After being asked for some more improvements to gene and repeat annotation the authors now demonstrate the new assembly is more contiguous, more complete, and more accurate than Kyuss v1.0 and shows the correct pseudo-chromosome structure. This more accurate data have great potential for downstream genomic applications, such as read mapping, variant calling, genome-wide association studies, comparative genomics, and evolutionary biology. These future analyses being able to benefit forage and turf grass research and breeding.

  This evaluation refers to version 1 of the preprint

  eLife assessment

  This useful manuscript presents an intriguing potential refinement of models for adult SVZ neurogenesis, and highlights the role of RNA splicing at specific stages in the lineage. Unfortunately, the evidence does not fully support the claims, leaving it currently incomplete. The proposed role of RNA splicing in neuronal differentiation, though interesting, remains unexplored and would benefit significantly from targeted gene manipulation studies.
