摘要
AbstractConstructing high-quality haplotype-resolved genome assemblies has substantially improved the ability to detect and characterize genetic variants. A targeted approach providing readily access to the rich information from haplotype-resolved genome assemblies will be appealing to groups of basic researchers and medical scientists focused on specific genomic regions. Here, using the 4.5 megabase, notoriously difficult-to-assemble major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region as an example, we demonstrated an approach to construct haplotype-resolved de novo assemblies of targeted genomic regions with the CRISPR-based enrichment. Compared to the results from haplotype-resolved genome assemblies, our targeted approach achieved comparable completeness and accuracy with greatly reduced computing complexity, sequencing cost, as well as the amount of starting materials. Moreover, using the targeted assembled personal haplotypes as the reference both improves the quantification accuracy for sequencing data and enables allele-specific functional genomics analyses. Given its highly efficient use of resources, our approach can greatly facilitate population genetic studies of targeted regions, and may pave a new way to elucidate the molecular mechanisms in disease etiology.
