Linked-Reads, a new sequencing technology developed by 10x Genomics, leverages microfluidics to partition and barcode HMW DNA to generate a new data type that provides contextual information of the genome from short-reads. Our technology allows you to consolidate multiple assays into a single, powerful workflow with low input requirements. Simply put, Linked-Reads provide long-range information from short-read sequencing data, so you can find the information you may not even realize you’ve been missing. - https://www.10xgenomics.com/linked-reads/
