    Scalable Nanopore sequencing of human genomes provides a comprehensive view of haplotype-resolved variation and methylation

    Long-read sequencing technologies substantially overcome the limitations of short-reads but have not been considered as a feasible replacement for population-scale projects, being a combination of too expensiv...

    DeepConsensus improves the accuracy of sequences with a gap-aware sequence transformer

    Circular consensus sequencing with Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) technology generates long (10–25 kilobases), accurate ‘HiFi’ reads by combining serial observations of a DNA molecule into a consensus sequence. ...

    Accelerated identification of disease-causing variants with ultra-rapid nanopore genome sequencing

    Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can identify variants that cause genetic disease, but the time required for sequencing and analysis has been a barrier to its use in acutely ill patients. In the present study, we...

    Chasing perfection: validation and polishing strategies for telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies

    Advances in long-read sequencing technologies and genome assembly methods have enabled the recent completion of the first telomere-to-telomere human genome assembly, which resolves complex segmental duplicatio...

    Merfin: improved variant filtering, assembly evaluation and polishing via k-mer validation

    Variant calling has been widely used for genoty** and for improving the consensus accuracy of long-read assemblies. Variant calls are commonly hard-filtered with user-defined cutoffs. However, it is impossib...

    Haplotype-aware variant calling with PEPPER-Margin-DeepVariant enables high accuracy in nanopore long-reads

    Long-read sequencing has the potential to transform variant detection by reaching currently difficult-to-map regions and routinely linking together adjacent variations to enable read-based phasing. Third-gener...

    Nanopore sequencing and the Shasta toolkit enable efficient de novo assembly of eleven human genomes

    De novo assembly of a human genome using nanopore long-read sequences has been reported, but it used more than 150,000 CPU hours and weeks of wall-clock time. To enable rapid human genome assembly, we present ...
