Illumina Complete Long Reads

Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been the most widely adopted technology for human whole-genome sequencing (WGS), delivering an accurate, scalable, cost-effective solution, featured in over 300,000 scientific publications. However, a small portion of the genome remains challenging to map due to highly repetitive or highly homologous regions. Illumina Complete Long-Reads will address these edge cases and accelerate access to the remaining ~5% of genic regions. In this presentation, we will share use cases of Complete Long Reads and highlight research being done by collaborators around the world.
