Introduction of an Optimized Protocol for Long-Read Nanopore Sequencing of Blood Group Genes in Immunohematology Case Studies
The optimized nanopore sequencing protocol enabled the generation of long-read sequence data and identification of blood group gene variants within a working day. This approach is suitable for molecular analyses of different blood group genes in immunohematology case studies under the same LR-PCR and sequencing conditions.
