Reading into the Future: Development of Long-read DNA Sequencing

December 14, 2019

By Aditi Goyal, Genetics and Genomics, ‘22 At this moment, the next revolution in the field of biology is currently underway: third-generation sequencing, or Long-Read sequencing. Instead of relying on cluster-based short read technology (1), third-generation sequencing builds a DNA sequence on a nucleotide basis, therefore eliminating the extensive process of read alignment. Until now, scientists across […]
