This project aims to advance the currently available sequencing technologies at the University of Antwerp (UA) by acquiring a third generation sequencing (3GS) platform. The flagship of the third generation, single-molecule longread sequencers, PacBio Sequel, harnesses the natural process of DNA replication and enables real-time observation of DNA synthesis. 3GS promises to open new avenues for sequencing-based research beyond the current ...
