Cutting-Edge Sequencing Technologies: A Detailed Introduction to Single-Molecule Optical Mapping

The eukaryotic genome exhibits various repetitive sequences (such as centromeres, telomeres, etc.) and long gaps, which increasingly highlight the shortcomings of existing sequencing technologies. Although second-generation sequencing technologies can cheaply generate a large amount of sequencing data, their read length limitations prevent a simple and intuitive view of structural changes across the entire genome; PacBio … Read more
