Determining the sequence of DNA and RNA molecules has a huge impact on the understanding of cell biology and function. Recent advancements in next-generation short-read sequencing (NGS) technologies, drops in cost and a resolution down to the single-cell level shaped our current view on genome structure and function. Third-generation sequencing (TGS) methods further complete the knowledge about these processes based on long reads and the ability to analyze DNA or RNA at single molecule level. Long-read sequencing provides additional possibilities to study genome architecture and the composition of highly complex regions and to determine epigenetic modifications of nucleotide bases at a genome-wide level. We discuss the principles and advancements of long-read sequencing and its applications in genome biology.
