Long reads span and call variations that short reads cannot. IGV (http://software.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/home) image of (top) PacBio reads from a sample sequenced as part of the GDAP project. The reads span a 6 kb heterozygous LINE-1 element deletion and show clear depth variation. Illumina (bottom) reads from the same sample unable to be clearly mapped around the deletion with reads in white indicating where reads were unable to be uniquely mapped.
