Combined use of Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing yields insights into soybean structural variation biology.

We show that structural variants discovered using Oxford Nanopore data can be genotyped with high accuracy from Illumina data. Our results demonstrate that long-read and short-read sequencing technologies can be efficiently combined to enhance SV analysis in large populations, providing a reusable framework for their study in a wider range of samples and non-model species.
