High-resolution mapping of reciprocal translocation breakpoints using long-read sequencing [PDF]
Long-read nanopore sequencing enables direct high-resolution breakpoint mapping on balanced carriers of reciprocal translocation. The mean sequencing depth on the translocated chromosomes to achieve accurate mapping of breakpoints ranged from 2.5-fold to

Long-read mapping to repetitive reference sequences using Winnowmap2. [PDF]
Approximately 5-10% of the human genome remains inaccessible due to the presence of repetitive sequences such as segmental duplications and tandem repeat arrays. We show that existing long-read mappers often yield incorrect alignments and variant calls within long, near-identical repeats, as they remain vulnerable to allelic bias.

Parameterized syncmer schemes improve long-read mapping. [PDF]
Abstract Motivation Sequencing long reads presents novel challenges to mapping. One such challenge is low sequence similarity between the reads and the reference, due to high sequencing error and mutation rates. This occurs, e.g., in a cancer tumor, or due to differences between strains of viruses or

Weighted minimizer sampling improves long read mapping. [PDF]
Abstract Motivation In this era of exponential data growth, minimizer sampling has become a standard algorithmic technique for rapid genome sequence comparison. This technique yields a sub-linear representation of sequences, enabling their comparison in reduced space and time. A key property of

A survey of mapping algorithms in the long-reads era
It has been over a decade since the first publication of a method dedicated entirely to mapping long-reads. The distinctive characteristics of long reads resulted in methods moving from the seed-and-extend framework used for short reads to a seed-and ...

CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment and long read sequencing for fine mapping in plants [PDF]
Background Genomic methods for identifying causative variants for trait loci applicable to a wide range of germplasm are required for plant biologists and breeders to understand the genetic control of trait variation. Results We implemented Cas9-targeted

RASSA: Resistive Prealignment Accelerator for Approximate DNA Long Read Mapping [PDF]
DNA read mapping is a computationally expensive bioinformatics task, required for genome assembly and consensus polishing. It requires to find the best-fitting location for each DNA read on a long reference sequence. A novel resistive approximate similarity search accelerator, RASSA, exploits charge distribution and parallel in-memory processing to ...

Comparison of whole genome sequencing approaches for Capripox viruses [PDF]
Background Direct whole genome sequencing of Capripox virus genomes from diagnostic samples is not always straightforward. Low viral content in a sample, biased sequencing and subsequent assembly and mapping methods may all influence the outcome. Methods

A Fast Approximate Algorithm for Mapping Long Reads to Large Reference Databases [PDF]
Abstract Emerging single-molecule sequencing technologies from Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore have revived interest in long read mapping algorithms. Alignment-based seed-and-extend methods demonstrate good accuracy, but face limited scalability, while faster alignment-free methods typically trade decreased precision for ...

Completely resolved structural variants by optical genome mapping with adaptive sampling from CNV discovery [PDF]
Structural variants (SVs), including duplications, deletions, inversions, translocations, and insertions, play major roles in human phenotypic diversity but remain difficult to detect because of variable size and structural complexity.
