What is long-read vs short-read sequencing?

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.
