SAN FRANCISCO (GenomeWeb) – Longer sequencing reads are better at detecting structural variants than shorter reads, and a new study illustrates why that is and identifies thousands of novel variants from well-characterized samples.

In addition, the study, published this week in Nature Methods, identifies differences between Pacific Biosciences' and Oxford Nanopore Technologies' sequencing platforms.
