Next-generation Sequencing Technologies and their Impact on Genomic Medicine
Author(s): Rebecca Michelson*
Next-Generation Sequencing technologies have revolutionized genomic medicine, providing unprecedented insights into the genetic
underpinnings of diseases and significantly enhancing our ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent a range of health conditions. By enabling rapid
and cost-effective sequencing of entire genomes, exomes, and targeted regions, NGS has transformed the landscape of genomic research and
clinical practice. The advent of NGS technologies marked a departure from traditional sequencing methods, such as Sanger sequencing, which
were labor-intensive and costly. NGS platforms are capable of sequencing millions of DNA fragments simultaneously, allowing for the highthroughput
analysis of genetic material. This capability has dramatically reduced the time and expense associated with sequencing, making it
more accessible for both research and clinical.. Read More»
