Machine learning algorithm brings long-read sequencing to the clinic

Long-read sequencing technologies analyse long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers’ ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes. However, the complex structure of cancer genomes means that standard analysis tools, including existing methods specifically developed to analyse long-read sequencing data, often fall short, leading to false-positive results…
