Genome technology has improved substantially since the first full organismal genomes were generated. Applying new technology, Warren et al. refined the genome of the rhesus macaque, a model nonhuman primate. Long-read technology and other recent advances in sequencing technology were applied to generate a genome with far fewer gaps and helped to refine the locations and numbers of repetitive elements. Furthermore, the authors performed resequencing among populations to identify the genetic variability of the rhesus macaque. Thus, a previously incomplete and inaccurate set of sequence information is now fully resolved, improving gene mapping for biomedical and comparative genetic studies.
