Next Generation sequencing (NGS)

About Next Generation sequencing (NGS)

NGS Includes high throughput nucleic acid sequencing technologies such as illumina (Miniseq) and proton/ion personal genome sequencing (PGM) Illumina next-generation sequencing utilizes a fundamentally different approach from the classic Sanger chain-termination method. It leverages sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology – tracking the addition of labeled nucleotides as the DNA chain is copied – in a massively parallel fashion.

Application:

1. Targeted resequencing.

2. Small whole genome sequencing

3. Amplicon Sequencing

4. Gene expression profiling

5. SNP identification

6. Meta-genomics etc
