Research highlights how long-read sequencing is helping close the diagnostic gap for rare diseases.

Using a nanopore-based pipeline, researchers resolved 11 rare disease cases, uncovering variants and epigenetic changes missed by short-read approaches.

Advancing long-read nanopore genome assembly and accurate variant calling for rare disease detection
More than 50% of families with suspected rare monogenic diseases remain unsolved after whole genome analysis by short read sequencing (SRS). Long-read sequencing (LRS) could help bridge this diagnosti...
