Long-read whole-genome sequencing of post-mortem sporadic PD cases and non-PD controls using gut tissue

This study aims to enable in-depth genomic characterization of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by examining single nucleotide polymorphisms, structural variants, and quantitative trait loci. Long-read whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Oxford Nanopore PromethION platform on colon tissue collected post‑mortem from PD patients and non-PD controls. These data contribute high-resolution insights into genomic variation that may affect PD biology. The project is part of Team Voet’s efforts within the ASAP Collaborative Research Network, which promotes resource sharing and accelerates discovery in Parkinson’s disease research.

Dataset ID	Description	Technology	Samples
EGAD50000002424	This dataset contains whole genome sequencing data from 16 colon tissue samples, including 5 Parkinson’s disease (PD) cases and 11 non-PD controls. Sequencing was performed on the Oxford Nanopore PromethION platform using R10.4.1 flow cells. Raw pod5 files were processed with the public NanoWGS pipeline (https://github.com/AlexanRNA/nanowgs), which includes base calling using ONT Dorado v0.3.2 with modified bases detected using the --modified-bases 5mCG_5hmCG option. The processed data are provided as one BAM file per sample.	PromethION	16
