What is Long Read Sequencing?

Long read sequencing (LRS) is a DNA sequencing technology that produces longer reads compared to traditional short read sequencing methods. Technologies like Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) have revolutionized the field by providing reads that can span several kilobases. This capability allows for more accurate assembly of genomes, detection of structural variations, and resolution of complex genomic regions.
