The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine 2 articles published in JoVE Bioengineering Ultra-long Read Sequencing for Whole Genomic DNA Analysis Liang Gong1, Chee-Hong Wong1, Jennifer Idol1, Chew Yee Ngan1, Chia-Lin Wei1 1Genome Technologies, Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine Long-read sequences greatly facilitate the assembly of complex genomes and characterization of structural variation. We describe a method to generate ultra-long sequences by nanopore-based sequencing platforms. The approach adopts an optimized DNA extraction followed by modified library preparations to generate hundreds of kilobase reads with moderate coverage from human cells.
