New studies suggest many methods that map NGS reads to a reference can be improved using a graph-based reference genome rather than a linear one.
The draft, presented by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, includes novel alleles and is the first step on the way to a diverse reference genome.
The method converts short fragments from Illumina libraries into long DNA molecules, promising MinIon sequencing at comparable cost and accuracy to the Illumina MiSeq.
The firm is commercializing technology to analyze degraded DNA developed by the paleogenomics lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

The partners plan to integrate Dockstore, an open platform that allows bioinformatics researchers to share Docker-based genomics workflows, with the new Amazon Genomics Command Line Interface.
