In recent years, long-read DNA sequencing has replaced short-read technologies as the gold standard solution for a wide range of genomics applications. In addition to producing high quality de novo genome assembly, long-read technologies can be used to study complex structural variation, full-length RNA isoforms, detection of epigenetic signals, and much more. The adaptation of long-read sequencing is sweeping […]
