Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, refers to a set of technologies that allow the rapid and parallel sequencing of millions of DNA fragments simultaneously. NGS has revolutionized genomics, enabling researchers to obtain vast amounts of genomic information in a cost-effective and timely manner.
NGS has had a profound impact on genomics, enabling breakthroughs in understanding genetics, disease mechanisms, and personalized medicine. The ability to generate large-scale genomic data has transformed various fields of biological research and clinical diagnostics.
