Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Faulty DNA repair and epigenetic regulation contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Long-read sequencing enables analysis of "dark regions" that are difficult to study via traditional sequencing methodologies. METHODS: Using nanopore whole-genome DNA sequencing of post mortem brain from early- and late- stage Alzheimer's disease cases and controls, we analyzed retrotransposition,...
