Long-read sequencing, or third-generation sequencing, offers a number of advantages over short-read sequencing [ , ]. While short-read sequencers such as Illumina’s NovaSeq, HiSeq, NextSeq, and MiSeq instruments [ – ]; BGI’s MGISEQ and BGISEQ models [ ]; or Thermo Fisher’s Ion Torrent sequencers [ , ] produce reads of up to 600 bases, long-read sequencing technologies routinely generate reads in excess of 10 kb [ ].
