Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a robust platform that has enabled the sequencing of thousands to millions of DNA<\/a> molecules simultaneously.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, is the catch-all term used to describe a number of different modern sequencing technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high demand for low-cost sequencing has driven the development of high-throughput sequencing,<\/span> which produces thousands or millions of sequences at once.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are intended to lower the cost of DNA sequencing beyond what is possible with standard dye-terminator methods.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, these recent technologies allow us to sequence DNA and RNA much more quickly and cheaply than the previously used Sanger sequencing and as such, have revolutionized the study of genomics and molecular biology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classified to different generations, NGS has led to overcoming the limitations of conventional DNA sequencing methods and has found usage in a wide range of molecular biology applications. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
