PacBio_WGS_for_NA12878
The aim is to get 10x whole genome coverage in PacBio long reads of sample NA12878
The 1000 Genomes CEU trio daughter, who is the most intensively sequenced individual we regularly use as a testbed for new technologies.  The goals are (a) to evaluate the utility of long reads (average now 4kb) for diploid assembly of human genomes – in part with respect to potential future use of Oxford Nanopore data, (b) to improve the NA12878 diploid genome sequence as a gold standard reference
