Modifications of second-generation sequencing methods attempt to overcome the problem of short reads by producing read pairs.
However, most second-generation sequencing technologies compromise read length to deliver an increased number of reads, and while third-generation technologies offer the promise of longer reads, these are yet to be applied for routine sequencing of complex genomes. The most robust method to overcome the problems of repeats is to increase the read length to a point that every repeat is spanned by at least one read. Repeats cause ambiguity during fragment assembly and so pose the greatest challenge when assembling genomic data. One challenge of genome sequencing lies in the fact that only a small portion of the genome encodes genes, and that these genes are surrounded by repetitive DNA sequences that are often difficult to assemble. There are a large number of reviews and detailed manuscripts that describe assembly methods in detail and this information will only be summarized here.

While it is relatively easy to process data with assembly software and output some assembled sequences, the assembly process is relatively complex and a good understanding of the different approaches and associated parameters is required to produce consistent and high-quality assemblies. During the first years of next-generation sequencing, several assembly algorithms were developed, some of which have kept pace with developments in data production and algorithmic enhancements, while others have fallen by the wayside. While early assemblers could only manage to assemble small bacterial genomes, improvements in data quality and quantity, combined with more advanced assembly algorithms and computational hardware have allowed the assembly of more complex eukaryotic genomes. One of the main tasks in next-generation sequence analysis is de novo genome assembly.
