Amplicon sequencing, a technique focused on the targeted amplification of specific DNA regions, benefits significantly from the long-read capabilities of Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Unlike short-read technologies, such as those based on Illumina platforms, Oxford Nanopore sequencing generates reads of exceptional length. This feature is particularly advantageous for amplicon sequencing, as it enables the sequencing of entire target regions in a single, contiguous read. This characteristic is instrumental in resolving complex genomic regions, repetitive sequences, and structural variations, which are often challenging for short-read technologies to accurately capture.
