Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identification of germline variation and somatic mutations is a major issue in human genetics. However, due to the limitations of DNA sequencing technologies and computational algorithms, our understanding of genetic variation and somatic mutations is far from complete. METHODS: In the present study, we performed whole-genome sequencing using long-read sequencing technology (Oxford Nanopore) for 11...
