Learn how to choose the right DNA sequencing service based on your research goals, read length, accuracy, turnaround time, cost, and data requirements. Compare Sanger, NGS, and Nanopore sequencing.

​Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized biological research and clinical diagnostics over the past two decades. Today, two dominant technologies define the field: Illumina's short-read sequencing and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing. Understanding their fundamental differences helps researchers select the optimal platform for their specific needs.
