SNCA and Parkinsonism: We used long-read, Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) to sequence and assemble two transgenic strains of Caenorhabditis elegans commonly used in the research of neurodegenerative diseases: BY250 (pPdat-1::GFP) and UA44 (GFP and human α-synuclein), a model for Parkinson’s research.
