What is high-throughput sequencing?
Answered
High-throughput sequencing, or next-generation sequencing (NGS), refers to a set of advanced sequencing technologies that allow for the rapid and simultaneous sequencing of millions of DNA molecules. Unlike traditional sequencing methods, which are typically slow and costly, high-throughput sequencing can produce vast amounts of data quickly and at lower costs. This technology has enabled researchers to conduct large-scale genomic studies, discover genetic variants, and explore complex biological questions with unprecedented depth and resolution. The ability to sequence multiple genomes or large portions of genomes in parallel has transformed fields such as genomics, personalized medicine, and evolutionary biology.
