Long-Read Sequencing
Long-Read Sequencing, also known as third-generation sequencing, is a class of DNA sequencing methods which are currently under active development. In contrast to other existing methods of DNA sequencing the process of long-read sequencing does not require breaking long strands of DNA, but simply reading the nucleotide sequences at a molecule level.
