Reply to 'Evolution of Tibetan wild boars'

Frantz et al. reanalyzed our data1 by aligning a small part of our short-read sequences from a Tibetan wild boar that were used for de novo assembly (33.2 Gb of 319 Gb, or ∼10%) to the

reference genome for the European domesticated Duroc pig breed (Sus scrofa Ssc10.2)2. As a result, they propose alternative interpretations and question two of our findings. They also

suggest that a resequencing strategy should be applied for the comparison of Tibetan wild boar and Duroc pig, rather than for the comparison of the two de novo assemblies as we reported.
