For the past 30 years, “whole-genome sequencing” has been a misnomer. Today the T2T Consortium publishes a dozen papers heralding a future of truly complete genomes for humans and nearly any vertebrate 👨‍🔬🐒🐦🐀🦒🐎🫏🐹🐟 (sorry, no salamanders): www.cell.com/consortium/t... 🧵[1/15]

Benchmark against the complete HG002 genome and the picture changes. Long-read de novo assembly of “noisy” nanopore reads outperforms state-of-the-art variant calling by an order of magnitude, even when restricted to regions syntenic to GRCh38. We've been selling long reads short [7/15]

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services (VCGS) has achieved ISO 15189 accreditation for a whole genome sequencing workflow using Oxford Nanopore technology, bringing this approach into fully regulated clinical practice. Learn more: https://bit.ly/44jV53x
