Scientists used the Oxford MinION nanopore sequencer with a novel pipeline, NanoSV, to detect structural variants from the genomes of two patients. They found that long reads are better than short reads at detecting events such as de novo chromothripsis rearrangements. The team used PippinHT for size-selecting libraries prior to sequencing.
