Advantages of Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing in High-GC Content Genomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Next-generation sequencing has become the most widely used sequencing technology in genomics research, but it has inherent drawbacks when dealing with high-GC content genomes. Recently, single-molecule real-time sequencing technology (SMRT) was introduced as a third-generation sequencing strategy to compensate for this drawback. Here, we report that the unbiased and longer read length of SMRT sequencing markedly improved genome assembly with high GC content via gap filling and repeat resolution.

Understanding Accuracy in SMRT Sequencing
Introduction Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) DNA sequencing achieves highly accurate sequencing results, exceeding 99.999% (Q50) accuracy, regardless of the DNA's sequence context or GC content. This is possible because SMRT Sequencing excels in all three categories that are relevant when considering accuracy in DNA sequencing: 1. Consensus accuracy 2. Sequence context bias 3. Mappability of ...

A publicly available data set from Pacific Biosciences was used to create an assembly of the chloroplast genome sequence of the Arabidopsis thaliana genotype Landsberg erecta The assembly is solely based on single-molecule, real-time sequencing data and hence provides high resolution of the two inverted repeat regions typically contained in chloroplast genomes.
متن کاملSingle molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing comes of age: applications and utilities for medical diagnostics
Short read massive parallel sequencing has emerged as a standard diagnostic tool in the medical setting. However, short read technologies have inherent limitations such as GC bias, difficulties mapping to repetitive elements, trouble discriminating paralogous sequences, and difficulties in phasing alleles. Long read single molecule sequencers resolve these obstacles. Moreover, they offer higher...
متن کاملThe Complete Genome Sequence of the Phytopathogenic Fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Reveals Insights into the Genome Architecture of Broad Host Range Pathogens
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus with over 400 hosts including numerous economically important cultivated species. This contrasts many economically destructive pathogens that only exhibit a single or very few hosts. Many plant pathogens exhibit a “two-speed” genome. So described because their genomes contain alternating gene rich, repeat sparse and gene poor, repeat-rich reg...
