Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a relatively new DNA sequencing technology that has completely changed the way genomic research is done by allowing researchers to study biological systems at a new level, cheaper and faster than previous methods.
With NGS came the ability for researchers to sequence the entire human genome in a day whereas previous sequencing techniques required more than a decade to sequence the human genome.
Some of the advantages of Next Generation Sequencing include:
- being able to rapidly sequence genomes
- focus on specific regions in a sequence
- study diversity
- analyze types of protein interactions
