Abstract
Single-molecule long-read sequencing datasets were generated for a son-father-mother trio of Han Chinese descent that is part of the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) consortium portfolio. The dataset was generated using the Pacific Biosciences Sequel System. The son and each parent were sequenced to an average coverage of 60 and 30, respectively, with N50 subread lengths between 16 and 18 kb. Raw reads and reads aligned to both the GRCh37 and GRCh38 are available at the NCBI GIAB ftp site (ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/giab/ftp/data/ChineseTrio/). The GRCh38 aligned read data are archived in NCBI SRA (SRX4739017, SRX4739121, and SRX4739122). This dataset is available for anyone to develop and evaluate long-read bioinformatics methods.
Highlights
Background & SummaryGenome In a Bottle (GIAB) is a consortium hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), primarily dedicated to the development and characterization of human genomic reference materials
Expanding the benchmark to more challenging variants and regions using long-read sequencing technologies is of interest to the consortium and its stakeholders, including technology and bioinformatics developers, clinical laboratories, and regulatory agencies[7]
In an effort to expand the benchmark to more challenging variants and regions, a high-coverage long-read sequence dataset was generated for the Han Chinese Trio using the PacBio Sequel System (Pacific Biosciences, Menlo Park CA, USA)
