DESCRIPTION:Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been revolutionised by the de
 velopment of long-read sequencing technologies in the last few years. Driv
 en in no small part by Oxford Nanopore technologies (https://nanoporetech.
 com/) and Pacific Biosciences\, HiFi (https://www.pacb.com/technology/hifi
 -sequencing/) we now have the ability to sequence long (mb+) single-molecu
 le DNA fragments. Although these developments are expected to alleviate nu
 merous computational challenges surrounding genome analysis they also brin
 g some interesting bioinformatics challenges to which we have to adapt in 
 order to get the most from this powerful technology.
