    Portable Third-Generation Sequencing Faces Real-Time Processing

    Introduction: A new era of on-site sequencing Portable third-generation sequencing has shifted the trajectory of genomics by bringing real-time insights out of the lab and into the field. With compact devices that can perform sequencing in minutes rather than days, researchers can identify pathogens, monitor environmental samples, and make rapid decisions on site. However, the…

    Portable Third-Generation Sequencing: Real-Time Processing Bottlenecks

    The Promise of Real-Time, On-Site Sequencing Third-generation sequencing technologies have transformed genomics by delivering long reads in near real-time. Portable devices enable researchers to collect samples in the field, monitor biodiversity, identify pathogens, and accelerate outbreak responses without returning to a central lab. The ability to observe data as it is generated supports adaptive workflows—changing…
