The structure, function and evolution of a complete human chromosome 8.

Nanopore ultra-long reads barcoded with singly unique nucleotide k-mers (SUNKs) of length 20 and assembled. Sequence was then corrected with HiFi PacBio reads bearing the same k-mer barcodes. The centromere was assembled with 11 ultra-long reads. 5 different evolutionary strates were found.
