An Introduction to Long-Read Sequencing Technologies
Long-read sequencing technologies are revolutionizing genomics by minimizing gaps and maximizing accuracy in genome assembly. Yet variations between sequencing technologies often raise questions around use cases, workflow integration and instrument selection.
Navigating differences in sequencing chemistry, data output and application fit can be laborious, while choosing the right platform without a clear understanding can hinder data quality or inflate project costs.
In this Teach Me in 10 episode, we are joined by Andrea Patrignani, NGS Sales & Application Specialist at INTEGRA. Andrea breaks down the core principles of long-read sequencing, highlighting how different platforms work and what makes them distinct.
Watch this episode to discover:
- The main advantages of long-read sequencing over short-read methods
- Key differences between available sequencing technologies
- How sequencing libraries are constructed across platforms
