Long-read sequencing, as a very new DNA sequencing technology, allows longer DNA fragments to be read in a single pass when sequencing DNA sequences. These are typically between 10,000 and 100,000 base pairs and have even been shown to read 1-2 million base pairs at a time. Long -read sequencing offers unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy for variation detection, even in repetitive sequence regions and in complex structural variants.The use of long-read sequencing to discover novel variants in complex genomic regions and to detect structural variants has important applications.

CD Genomics provides long-read sequencing to help researchers provide a comprehensive view of plant and animal genomes. We develop and provide a range of services related to long-read sequencing, including the development of bioinformatics tools such as long read length algorithms, software, databases and artificial intelligence algorithms, the development of biological information tools such as long fragment nucleic acid extraction, ultra-long DNA extraction, single cell RNA amplification and long fragment DNA capture. Based on the services of long-read  sequencing in plant and animal genome research, we have developed our own ultra-long sequencing kits for sequencing large segments of plant and animal genes, and we have been leading the industry in services to improve the completeness of plant and animal genome completion maps.
