What is the main difference between Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Sanger Sequencing?
What is the main difference between Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Sanger Sequencing?
- NGS is faster than Sanger Sequencing
- NGS is used for RNA sequencing, while Sanger Sequencing is used for DNA sequencing
- NGS requires a reference genome, while Sanger Sequencing does not
- NGS can sequence billions of DNA strands simultaneously, while Sanger Sequencing can only sequence one strand at a time (correct)
What was the duration of the Human Genome Project?
What was the duration of the Human Genome Project?
- 13 years
- 32 years (correct)
- 10 years
- 22 years
Why does Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) enable faster sequencing compared to the Human Genome Project?
Why does Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) enable faster sequencing compared to the Human Genome Project?
