However, you might encounter other terms like:
* Next-generation sequencing (NGS) - This term is often used broadly for all high-throughput sequencing technologies, including TGS.
* High-throughput sequencing (HTS) - Similar to NGS, this term is used to encompass various sequencing technologies.
* Single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) - This is a specific type of TGS technology developed by Pacific Biosciences.
* Nanopore sequencing - This is another specific type of TGS technology developed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
While these terms are used in the field, "long-read sequencing" and "single-molecule sequencing" are the most common and comprehensive names for TGS.
