Ok, thank you!
So, this means there is hope for getting the data required for a full DNA restoration:
- bases near the telomeres, difficult to get (i.e. difficult to locate) with standard sequencing, can be sequenced (and located) with long-sequence sequencing (but this kind of GWS cheap service doesn't use long-sequencing right?)
- for bases around centromeres, do we assume that they are surrounded by a sea of nothingness, and that relying on a unique reference genome's centromere is enough? Isn't that risky, are we really sure that individual variations do not matter for centromeres?
My aim is to imagine a future where any defects, including centromeres, could be fixed, if necessary by regenerating whole chromosomes. Using data gathered now and safely stored.
