The next-generation, short-read sequencing technologies that generate comprehensive, whole-genome data with single nucleotide resolution have already advanced tuberculosis diagnosis, treatment, surveillance, and source investigation. Their high costs, tedious and lengthy processes, and large equipment remain major hurdles for research use in high tuberculosis burden countries and implementation into routine care.
