    of a nanopore-based copy-number variation sequencing (nCNV-seq) approach to simultaneously identify deletions of CDKN2A/B and 1p/19q. The nCNV-seq approach was initially evaluated on three distinct glioma cell lines and then applied to 19 IDH-mutant... gliomas (8 astrocytomas and 11 oligodendrogliomas) from patients. The whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion was detected in all oligodendrogliomas with high concordance among nCNV-seq, FISH, DNA methylation profiling, and whole-genome sequencing. For the CDKN2A/B
