genome.gov Third-generation sequencing (also known as long-read sequencing) is a class of DNA sequencing methods currently under active development. Third generation sequencing works by reading the nucleotide sequences at the single molecule level, in contrast to existing methods that require breaking long strands of DNA into small segments then inferring nucleotide sequences by amplification and synthesis.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a powerful platform that has enabled the sequencing of thousands to millions of DNA molecules simultaneously. Although each NGS platform is unique in how sequencing is accomplished, the Ion Torrent PGM and the Illumina MiSeq have a similar base methodology that includes template preparation, sequencing and imaging, and data analysis (Metzker, 2010 x Metzker, 2010 Metzker, M.L. Sequencing technologies—the next generation. The high demand for low-cost sequencing has driven the development of high-throughput sequencing, which also goes by the term next generation sequencing (NGS). Thousands or millions of sequences are concurrently produced in a single next-generation sequencing process. Next generation sequencing has become a commodity. DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence - the order of nucleotides in DNA.It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery. Beginner's Handbook of Next Generation Sequencing Everything you need to know about starting a sequencing project Massively parallel sequencing or next generation sequencing is becoming a ubiquitous technology in basic biology research and starting to make inroads in both diagnostic and clinical settings. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is becoming a common and versatile tool for biological and medical research. NGS, with its rapidly decreasing costs and increasing applications, is replacing many other technologies. High resolution, low biases, and the detection power of NGS will make discoveries possible Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a type of DNA sequencing technology that uses parallel sequencing of multiple small fragments of DNA to determine sequence. This "high-throughput" technology has allowed a dramatic increase in the speed (and a decrease in the cost) at which an individual's genome can be sequenced.
