Study Notes
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
- Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is commonly referred to as NGS.
- One major difference between NGS and Sanger sequencing is that NGS is high-throughput, parallel sequencing, whereas Sanger sequencing is low-throughput and serial.
Sanger Sequencing
- Sanger sequencing uses the principle of dideoxy termination.
- The main advantage of NGS over Sanger sequencing is its high-throughput capability and ability to analyze millions of DNA sequences in parallel, making it faster and more cost-effective.
Goals of NGS
- The goal of NGS is to determine the order of nucleotides (A, C, G, and T) that make up an organism's DNA or RNA.
