“…NAS requires a standard library preparation, eliminates the need for DNA amplification, circumvents laborious or expensive experimental design or probes synthesis, and offers real-time selective enrichment (Martin et al, 2022; Miyatake et al, 2022). NAS has been used in clinical settings and for the enrichment of metagenomic samples (Kipp et al, 2021; De Meulenaere et al, 2022; Martin et al, 2022; Greer et al, 2023; Hewel et al, 2023; Su et al, 2023; Wrenn & Drown, 2023). Therefore, NAS emerges as a promising approach for studying target regions, especially those that are highly complex, such as disease-associated repeat loci in humans (Miyatake et al, 2022; Stevanovski et al, 2022).…”
