Large-scale population analyses coupled with advances in technology have demonstrated that the human genome is more diverse than originally thought. To date, this diversity has largely been uncovered using short-read whole-genome sequencing. However, these approaches fail to give a complete picture of genome. They struggle identify structural events, cannot access repetitive regions, and resolve into haplotypes. Here, we describe an approach retains long range information while maintaining...

Wilms tumour is the most common childhood renal cancer and genetically heterogeneous. While several predisposition genes have been identified, there strong evidence that further are likely to exist. Our study aim was identify new for tumour.

Abstract Large-scale population based analyses coupled with advances in technology have demonstrated that the human genome is more diverse than originally thought. To date, this diversity has largely been uncovered using short read whole sequencing. However, standard short-read approaches, used primarily due to accuracy, throughput and costs, fail give a complete picture of genome. They struggle identify large, balanced structural events, cannot access repetitive regions resolve into its two...
