SMURF-seq: efficient copy number profiling on long-read sequencers

Abstract We present SMURF-seq, a protocol to efficiently sequence short DNA molecules on a long-read sequencer by randomly ligating them to form long molecules. Applying SMURF-seq using the Oxford Nanopore MinION yields up to 30 fragments per read, providing an average of 6.2 and up to 7.5 million m...
