Where did you read that? Kinney explicitly asserts the opposite, but I can't figure out what he's referring to. Someone else linked to Figure S9 from their 2017 PLOS Pathogens paper, which indeed seems not to contain the site in the final assembly. I've edited my other comment here to reflect that.
- mikeyouse 4y agoNope - the restriction sites aren't in the final assembly in that paper. These authors just don't understand the tools remotely well enough to have written their paper. It will never be published. https://twitter.com/alchemytoday/status/1583361758903013376 https://twitter.com/alchemytoday/status/1583361758903013376
- tripletao 4y agoYeah, I think Kinney is wrong here. Someone else found a survey paper noting the theoretical possibility of using BsaI and BsmBI in a way that leaves the sites in the final genome, but I haven't seen anyone who actually did that. So I'm leaning to a false discovery here.
