Abstract
The human genome reference sequence remains incomplete due to the challenge of assembling long tracts of near-identical tandem repeats-in centromeric regions. To address this, we have implemented a nanopore sequencing strategy to generate high quality reads that span hundreds of kilobases of highly repetitive DNAs. Here, we use this advance to produce a sequence assembly and characterization of the centromeric region of a human Y chromosome.
