摘 要:摘 要:由于很多微生物无法单独分离培养,研究微生物群落整体的宏基因组学是目前揭示微生物多样性的重要方法。长读长测序技术可以覆盖重复序列和复杂结构,获得短读长无法检测的基因组信息。现着重介绍了两类长读长测序技术,即基于第三代测序技术的单分子长读长测序技术和基于片段相互联系的合成长读长测序技术,并进一步介绍了长读长测序技术在宏基因组学领域的应用。
Abstract: Abstract: Because most microorganisms cannot be isolated and cultured alone, the study of the metagenomics of microbial communities is important to reveal microbial diversity. Long-read sequencing technology may cover repetitive sequences and complex structures, obtaining genomic information that cannot be detected by short-read sequencing. This review focuses on two types of long-read sequencing technology: single-molecule long-read sequencing technology based on third generation sequencing technology and synthetic long-read sequencing technology based on interconnection of DNA fragment. Furthermore, the application of long-read sequencing technology in metagenomics is also reviewed.
