High-throughput sequencing refers to a suite of advanced sequencing technologies designed to rapidly and efficiently sequence large amounts of DNA. The term “high-throughput” reflects the ability of these technologies to process and analyze millions of DNA fragments in parallel, generating vast quantities of sequence data in a relatively short period. This capability is made possible by innovations in sequencing chemistry, automation, and computational analysis. High-throughput sequencing has transformed the field of genomics by enabling large-scale studies, such as whole-genome sequencing, transcriptome analysis, and metagenomics, at a lower cost and with greater speed than traditional sequencing methods.
