third generation sequencing

What is Third Generation Sequencing?

Third generation sequencing (TGS) refers to advanced sequencing technologies that enable the direct reading of long DNA or RNA sequences in real-time. Unlike first and second generation sequencing, TGS can sequence single molecules without the need for amplification, leading to more accurate and faster results. Key technologies in TGS include Pacific Biosciences' Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing.
