Phased genome sequencing through chromosome sorting

Abstract

Phase information of an individual genome provides fundamentally useful genetic information for the understanding of genome function, phenotype, and disease. With the development of new sequencing technology, much interest has been focused on the challenges in obtaining long-range phase information. Here, we present the detailed protocol for a method capable of generating genomic sequences completely phased across the entire chromosome through FACS-mediated chromosome sorting and next generation sequencing, known as Phase-seq.
