Next-Generation Sequencing
Next-Generation Sequencing ( NGS ), also known as high-throughput sequencing , is a revolutionary technology that has transformed the field of genomics .
How does NGS work ?
High-throughput sequencing methods enable rapid and cost-effective sequencing of DNA or RNA , facilitating genomic research , diagnostics , and personalized medicine . It enables rapid and costeffective sequencing of large volumes of DNA or RNA , leading to breakthroughs in various areas of research and healthcare . NGS methods use parallel sequencing techniques to simultaneously sequence thousands to millions of DNA fragments in a massively parallel manner . This allows for high-throughput sequencing and generates vast amounts of sequencing data in a relatively short time .
APPLICATIONS OF NGS
• Genomic Research
• Cancer Genomics
• Infectious Disease Genomics
• Rare Disease Diagnosis
• Pharmacogenomics
