The paper develops an amplification-free long-read sequencing method using CRISPR/Cas9 to accurately measure CTG repeat expansions in DM1 patients, identifying a CCG-enriched expanded allele.

The paper provides highly accurate long-read HiFi sequencing datasets for five complex genomes to evaluate and develop bioinformatic tools.

Combining amplification-free CRISPR-Cas9 targeted enrichment with Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) long-read sequencing captures and sequences human repeat-expansion disease loci across HTT, FMR1, C9orf72, and ATXN10 without PCR bias.
