The genetic underpinnings of cancer are diverse and many types of genomic aberration — from SNVs to SVs, fusion transcripts, and epigenetic modifications (e.g. DNA/RNA methylation) — can cause, contribute to, or indicate disease. As a result, researchers traditionally relied on multiple techniques to identify and analyse different forms of cancer. Now, through the facility to generate sequencing reads of any length, including ultra-long reads in excess of 4 Mb that can span complex genomic regions, combined with integrated base modification detection and real-time results, nanopore sequencing delivers a streamlined and rapid solution for complete characterisation of cancer samples.
