is a relatively high error. In the case of PacBio it is somewhere between 10 to 25%. However, because PacBio uses library produced by ligating bell-shaped adapters to DNA molecules, a single circular molecule can be sequenced multiple times allowing for error correction (Figure 1a from Wenger et al. 2019.) • Note that it is also possible to read a longer insert just generating what is called Continuous Long Reads (CLRs). These are obviously much longer but are less accurate. Thus current PacBio systems produce two types of reads: Circular Consensus Reads (CCR) and Continuous Long Reads (CLRs). A subset of high quality CCR reads (with base Q>20Q>20) is called HiFi reads.
