          Abstract

          Existing long-read assemblers require thousands of CPU hours to assemble a human genome and are being outpaced by sequencing technologies in terms of both throughput and cost. We developed a long-read assembler wtdbg2 ( https://github.com/ruanjue/wtdbg2) that is 2–17 times as fast as published tools while achieving comparable contiguity and accuracy. It paves the way for population-scale long-read assembly in future.

            Structural variants identified by Oxford Nanopore PromethION sequencing of the human genome

            We sequenced the genome of the Yoruban reference individual NA19240 on the long-read sequencing platform Oxford Nanopore PromethION for evaluation and benchmarking of recently published aligners and germline structural variant calling tools, as well as a comparison with the performance of structural variant calling from short-read sequencing data. The structural variant caller Sniffles after NGMLR or minimap2 alignment provides the most accurate results, but additional confidence or sensitivity can be obtained by a combination of multiple variant callers. Sensitive and fast results can be obtained by minimap2 for alignment and a combination of Sniffles and SVIM for variant identification. We describe a scalable workflow for identification, annotation, and characterization of tens of thousands of structural variants from long-read genome sequencing of an individual or population. By discussing the results of this well-characterized reference individual, we provide an approximation of what can be expected in future long-read sequencing studies aiming for structural variant identification.
