Abstract While genome sequencing and assembly are now routine, we do not have a full, precise picture of polyploid genomes. No existing polyploid phasing method provides accurate and contiguous haplotype predictions. We developed nPhase, a ploidy agnostic tool that leverages long reads and accurate short reads to solve alignment-based phasing for samples of unspecified ploidy ( https://github.com/OmarOakheart/nPhase ). nPhase is validated by tests on simulated and real polyploids. nPhase obtains on average over 95% accuracy and a contiguous 1.25 haplotigs per haplotype to cover more than 90% of each chromosome (heterozygosity rate ≥ 0.5%). nPhase allows population genomics and hybrid studies of polyploids.
