De novo assembly of nanopore reads alone yielded a contiguous assembly (NG50 ∼3 Mb).

Reference-based alignment enabled detection of large structural variants and epigenetic modifications. 91.2 Gb of sequence data, representing ∼30× theoretical coverage, were produced. We report the sequencing and assembly of a reference genome for the human GM12878 Utah/Ceph cell line using the MinION (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) nanopore sequencer.
