Summary: | The single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing platform pre- sented by Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) is regarded as a third- generation sequencing technology (Eid et al, 2009; Roberts et al., 2013). PacBio delivers long reads from several to tens of kilobases (kbs), which are ideal for filling unsequenced gaps due to unusual sequence contexts, such as high~GC content or repeat-rich regions (Bashir et al., 2012; Berlin et al., 2015; Chaisson et al., 2015). PacBio long reads are also favorable for detecting large DNA fragments harboring structural variations (SVs), such as inversions, translocations, duplications, and large insertions/deletions (indels) (Ritz et al., 2010; English et al., 2014). |
