Next generation sequencing (NGS), massively parallel or deep sequencing are related terms that describe a DNA sequencing technology which has revolutionised genomic research. Using NGS an entire human genome can be sequenced within a single day

The massively parallel sequencing technology known as next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the biological sciences. With its ultra-high throughput, scalability, and speed, NGS enables researchers to perform a wide variety of applications and study biological systems at a level never before possible.To perform Sanger Sequencing, you add your primers to a solution containing the genetic information to be sequenced, then divide up the solution into four PCR reactions. Each reaction contains a with dNTP mix with one of the four nucleotides substituted with a ddNTP (A, T, G, and C ddNTP groups). Next generation sequencing offers fast turnaround time and takes only about 4 hours to complete a run. NGS is perfect for: Interrogating >100 genes at a time cost effectively. Finding novel variants by expanding the number of targets sequenced in a single run
