The future of human genomics is one that seeks to resolve the entirety of genetic variation through sequencing. The prospect of utilizing genomics for medical purposes require cost-efficient and accurate base calling, long-range haplotyping capability, and reliable calling of structural variants. Short-read sequencing has lead the development towards such a future but has struggled to meet the latter two of these needs. To address this limitation, we developed a technology that preserves the molecular origin of short sequencing reads, with an insignificant increase to sequencing costs. We demonstrate a novel library preparation method for high throughput barcoding of short reads where millions of random barcodes can be used to reconstruct megabase-scale phase blocks.
