About Next generation sequencing (NGS)

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is also known as high-throughput sequencing it is term used to describe a number of different modern sequencing technologies including Illumina (Solexa) sequencing, Whole genome sequencing, Targeted sequencing, Amplicon sequencing, exome sequencing, De novo sequencing , Transcriptomics etc. 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.
