The authors apologize to colleagues whose studies were not cited due to length and reference constraints. & Yu, Y. W. Practical probabilistic and graphical formulations of long-read polyploid haplotype phasing. iScience 23, 101223 (2020). The width of each layer is proportional to the number of publications (in log2 scale). Nanopore sequencing has the potential to offer relatively low-cost genotyping, high mobility . Genet. Indeed, the same issue arises in the other single-molecule measurement techniques, such as Helicos, PacBio and BioNano Genomics. BackgroundEmerging long reads sequencing technology has greatly changed the landscape of whole-genome sequencing, enabling scientists to contribute to decoding the genetic information of non-model species.

Nevertheless, ONT cDNA sequencing was also tested in individual B cells from mice120 and humans122,166. In addition, ONT direct RNA sequencing has been used to construct RNA viral genomes while eliminating the need for the conventional reverse transcription step, including Mayaro virus150, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus150, chikungunya virus150, Zika virus150, vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus150, Oropouche virus150, influenza A53 and human coronavirus86.

Nanopore-based sequencing technology detects the unique electrical signals of different molecules as they pass through the nanopore with a semiconductor-based electronic detection system. Nat. For example, the movement of DNA replication forks on single DNA molecules has been measured by detection of nucleotide analogs (for example, 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BrdU)) using ONT sequencing177,178,179, and the 3D chromatin organization in human cells has been analyzed by integrating a chromatin conformation capture technique and ONT sequencing to capture multiple loci in close spatial proximity by single reads180. The analysis of proteins and peptides with nanopores, however, is complicated by the complex physicochemical structure of polypeptides and the lack of understanding of the mechanism of capture and recognition of polypeptides by nanopores.

The Illumina sequencing technique, like the other second generation techniques, is based on three main steps: Construction of a library for next generation techniques (NGS) which involves the addition of specific adapters to the DNA or cDNA fragments to be sequenced. Methods 15, 455460 (2018). Nat. Thus, error correction is widely applied before many downstream analyses (for example, genome assembly and gene isoform identification), which can rescue reads for higher sensitivity (for example, mappability85) and improve the quality of the results (for example, break point determination at single-nucleotide resolution86).
