Abstract excerpt
Pharmacogenomics has shifted drug therapy from trial-and-error to personalized approaches by leveraging genetic biomarkers. However, traditional genotyping assays and short-read sequencing often fail to resolve structural complexity in pharmacogenes, leading to ambiguous haplotypes and incorrect phenotype predictions. To evaluate the potential of emerging long-read sequencing technologies in overcoming these...
