Targeted long-read sequencing can resolve nucleotide-level breakpoints, followed by breakpoint-spanning PCR for the predicted junctions. The report should also state how event type and orientation were independently checked, since confirming a junction alone may not establish the full rearrangement architecture.

Are you proposing long reads followed by PCR as a follow-up, or pointing to validation performed in the prawn study? Its [abstract](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42288228/) reports comparative rearrangements but doesn't specify either assay.
