This is wrong, a lot of diagnostic labs are actually going for nanopore sequencing since its prep is overall cheaper compared to alternatives. Also the sensitivity for related regions are usually matching qPCR, and it can give you more information such as methylation on top of that.

The timelines are exaggarated but still it works and that’s what matters in diagnostics.
