Using the TELL-Seq™ WGS library prep kit you can sequence novel genomes. This works for small bacterial genomes, medium sized insect, plant, and fungi genomes and large animal and plant genomes. The TELL-Seq™ kit will turn an ordinary short-read 2nd generation DNA sequencer into a long-read 3rd generation DNA sequencer. If you really want to understand a new genome, including gene synteny, you must look at long-reads.
