Oxford Nanopore devices pull DNA through a bioengineered pore to produce electrical current fluctuations that are then translated into a sequence. This approach generates long reads that can be used ...

Individual sequence reads generated in a whole-genome shotgun-sequencing project are initially assembled into sequence contigs. Groups of sequence contigs are then organized into scaffolds on the ...

In whole-genome assembly, the BAC fragments (red line segments) and the reads from five individuals (black line segments) are combined to produce a contig and a consensus sequence (green line).
