In this episode of our explainer podcasts, we’ve asked Emma McCargow, Programme Lead for the cancer programme at Genomics England, to explain in less than 10 minutes, the difference between long-read and short-read sequencing.
You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel.
You can read the transcript here: Long-read-vs-short-read-sequencing.docx
