NanoVar : accurate characterization of patients' genomic structural variants using low-depth nanopore sequencing

The recent advent of third-generation sequencing technologies brings promise for better characterization of genomic structural variants by virtue of having longer reads. However, long-read applications are still constrained by their high sequencing error rates and low sequencing throughput. Here, we...
