Editorial: Novel applications of ONT technologies in genomics and transcriptomics.

This document is an editorial titled "Novel applications of ONT technologies in genomics and transcriptomics" published in the journal Frontiers in Genetics. The editorial discusses the rapid development of Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology and its advantages in genomics and transcriptomics research. It highlights the ability of ONT to sequence long reads and detect epigenetic modifications, as well as the challenges in analyzing ONT data. The editorial also provides an overview of research papers included in the Research Topic, which cover various applications of ONT in detecting structural variants, improving variant detection in clinical genetic testing, gene discovery in non-model organisms, whole genome reconstruction, and detection of modified nucleotides. The document acknowledges the progress made in ONT technology while also acknowledging the unresolved technical issues. [Extracted from the article]
