Representative Long-read Use Cases | Targeted sequencing applications where long-read sequencing is essential
| Gene | Description |
|---|---|
| BRCA1 / BRCA2 |
· Full-length gene coverage · Robust analysis of repetitive regions and large genomic rearrangements |
| ERBB2 (HER2) |
· Copy number variation (CNV) and structural variant analysis · High-resolution structural analysis based on long-read sequencing |
| Pharmacogenomics |
· Analysis of highly polymorphic and structurally complex genomic regions, including CYP gene families · Accurate genotyping enabled by allele phasing |
Representative Long-read Use Cases | Targeted sequencing applications where long-read sequencing is essential
Pharmacogenomics-related genes such as GSTM1, CYP3A4, CYP2A6, and CYP2D6 exhibit complex genomic features, including gene deletions, copy number variations (CNVs), high sequence homology, and structural variants. ONT-based long-read sequencing enables full-length gene analysis, haplotype phasing, and highly confident allele calling in these complex genomic regions, effectively overcoming the limitations of short-read based approaches.
