Third-generation amplicon sequencing utilizes advanced platforms like PacBio to perform full-length sequencing of specific regions within microbial genomes, such as 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and ITS. Unlike second-generation sequencing, this technology requires little to no PCR amplification. By performing real-time sequencing directly on single DNA molecules, it captures complete amplicon sequences. Compared to second-generation methods, third-generation amplicon sequencing delivers superior taxonomic resolution and accuracy, enabling a much more precise reconstruction of microbial communities.
