The Evolution of Next-Generation Sequencing

The fundamental importance of the genome to biological systems and their function makes next-generation sequencing (NGS) an extremely versatile tool used widely in research, clinical and industrial settings. While faster and easier to perform than previous sequencing techniques, standard short-read NGS methods still have some limitations. Advances in third generation (or long-read) sequencing, however, are now providing solutions for these challenges.
