An international consortium recently released ~30x coverage of a human immortalized cell line (NA12878) sequenced using Oxford Nanopore MinION instruments. Release 3 of this dataset included 39 flowcells, which generated 14,183,584 reads and 91,240,120,433 bases, mostly using the 1D ligation prep, but with a few rapid kit runs as well. Our friends Nick Loman and Jared Simpson asked if we could assemble this data with Canu. Of course we said yes.
