One of the trends of modern genomics research is changing focus from sequencing a massive number of genomes in order to detect point mutations using the short-read technologies towards sequencing of fewer individuals using the long-read technologies that can resolve more complex events, e.g. structural re-arrangements, copy number variations, repeat expansions, etc.

At the same time, the long-read sequencing has revolutionized the field of de novo sequencing for biodiversity studies, making working with this application less time consuming and more productive.
