What is the difference between single and paired-end reads?
What is the difference between single and paired-end reads?
For single reads, only one end of the nucleic acid fragment is sequenced at your indicated length (e.g., 50-, 75-, or 100-bp reads)
For paired-end reads, nucleic acid fragments are sequenced at the indicated length first from one end, then from the other, allowing the detection of insertions, deletions, and genomic rearrangements
