Understanding DNA variation and accurately cataloging their sequences is the first step in unraveling how they impact human traits and diseases. Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) make up almost 3% of the human genome and are difficult to map, due to their repetitive nature.

PacBio highly accurate long reads (HiFi reads) can span most repeats, making it possible to comprehensively profile variation in repeat regions, enabling new discoveries in human genomics.
