Next-generation sequencing (NGS), or second-generation sequencing, is the catch-all term used to describe several high-throughput technologies for DNA sequencing [1, 2]. The techniques are also known as massive (or massively) parallel or deep sequencing and allow for sequencing of DNA and RNA much more quickly, at a favorable price, and at scales at or beyond genome sizes in comparison to the previously used first-generation Sanger sequencing. Throughout the last decade, this development revolutionized the study of genomics and molecular biology [3, 4]. Shortly after NGS, third-generation sequencing (TGS) technologies emerged with their distinguished feature of long single-molecule sequencing reads [5, 6]. Read lengths of up to tens of thousands of base pairs on single molecules, even using native DNA as a direct analyte, again pushed genome assemblies to unprecedented quality.
