Questions and Answers

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?

  • 13 years
  • 32 years (correct)
  • 10 years
  • 22 years
  • Why does Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) enable faster sequencing compared to the Human Genome Project?

  • It uses a different chemical process for sequencing
  • It requires less computational analysis
  • It can sequence billions of DNA strands simultaneously (correct)
  • It has better accuracy in sequencing
