Despite its advantages, long read sequencing also faces several challenges:
Cost: The cost of long read sequencing is still higher compared to short-read sequencing, which can be a significant barrier for widespread adoption. Error Rates: Long read sequencing technologies generally have higher error rates, although advances in bioinformatics tools are helping to mitigate this issue. Data Analysis: The large and complex data generated by long reads require sophisticated computational tools and significant processing power for analysis.
