Genome Projects and Sequencing Technologies · Zoology

Third-generation sequencing technologies are distinguished by:

  1. Requirement of PCR amplification
  2. Short read lengths
  3. Single-molecule sequencing
  4. Low error rates only
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Single-molecule sequencing

Third-generation sequencing reads individual DNA molecules directly. This allows longer read lengths without PCR amplification.
