Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and phasing
Simplify haplotype phasing
Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been widely studied for their associations with phenotypic variation and disease; they are also used to phase haplotypes. However, the use of legacy sequencing technology requires PCR, limiting SNV detection to regions amenable to amplification, and short reads make phasing challenging to resolve.
With Oxford Nanopore technology, long, PCR-free sequencing reads are generated, revealing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in regions inaccessible to other technologies, and phasing is greatly simplified.
