Sanger Sequencing vs Nanopore Sequencing
Developers in bioinformatics, genomics, or biotechnology should learn Sanger sequencing for validating genetic data, such as confirming mutations, sequencing plasmids, or checking PCR products, due to its high accuracy (up to 99 meets developers should learn nanopore sequencing when working in bioinformatics, genomics, or biotechnology fields, as it is essential for analyzing complex genomes, detecting structural variants, and performing real-time pathogen surveillance. Here's our take.
Sanger Sequencing

Sanger Sequencing
Nice PickDevelopers in bioinformatics, genomics, or biotechnology should learn Sanger sequencing for validating genetic data, such as confirming mutations, sequencing plasmids, or checking PCR products, due to its high accuracy (up to 99
Pros
- +99%) and reliability
- +Related to: dna-sequencing, bioinformatics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Nanopore Sequencing
Developers should learn nanopore sequencing when working in bioinformatics, genomics, or biotechnology fields, as it is essential for analyzing complex genomes, detecting structural variants, and performing real-time pathogen surveillance
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for use cases requiring long-read data, such as de novo genome assembly, epigenetic modification detection, and in-field diagnostics, where its portability and rapid turnaround times are advantageous
- +Related to: bioinformatics, genomics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Sanger Sequencing if: You want 99%) and reliability and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Nanopore Sequencing if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for use cases requiring long-read data, such as de novo genome assembly, epigenetic modification detection, and in-field diagnostics, where its portability and rapid turnaround times are advantageous over what Sanger Sequencing offers.
