Introduction

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) refers to high-throughput parallel sequencing technologies.

How does it work?

DNA is fragmented, adapters are added and millions of fragments are sequenced in parallel.

Applications

WES, WGS, cancer panels, inherited-disease panels, metagenomics.

Difference from Sanger

Sanger sequences one fragment at a time; NGS processes millions simultaneously.
