Data for: Nanopore R10.4.1 LSK114 HG002: subset of 20000 reads in BLOW5 format

HG002 (NA24385) is a reference human genome sample used for benchmarking and comparing bioinformatics applications. This dataset contains a subset of 20,000 reads from the HG002 human reference sample, sequenced using an Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION sequencer on an R10.4.1 flowcell. Sheared DNA libraries (~17Kb) were prepared using the ONT LSK114 ligation library prep and an R10.4.1 flow cell was used to generate ~30X genome coverage. The original data in the FAST5 format was converted to BLOW5 format using slow5tools v0.8.0. This is a downsampled subset containing 20,000 reads in BLOW5 format.
