The next generation becomes the now generation

Interestingly, this is similar to the blend of long- and short-insert libraries that were used for the whole genome shotgun version of the human genome project [6]. [...]the authors used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify across the boundaries of the inverted and duplicated region, and end-sequenced the PCR products to confirm the genome structure predicted by the genome assembler Velvet [7].
