Provided herein includes a method for generating an error-corrected genome assembly for an organism comprising: generating a genomic contact map derived from a DNA proximity ligation assay conducted on one or more samples from the organism or a closely related species; superimposing a reference assembled genome derived from whole genome sequencing of one or more samples from the organism on top of the genomic contact map using computer software; correcting errors in the reference assembled genome through a computer user interface to obtain a corrected assembly file, wherein errors in the reference assembled genome are visualized by observing aberrant contacts in the genomic contact map; and applying the corrected assembly file to the reference assembled genome.
