Talking Glossary
Next-generation DNA sequencing (abbreviated NGS) refers to the use of technologies for sequencing DNA that became available shortly after the completion of the Human Genome Project (which relied on the first-generation method of Sanger sequencing).
Talking Glossary
While some sequencing technologies produce reads that are only a few hundred nucleotides long, some methods can generate reads that are thousands to hundreds of thousands of nucleotides long, known as “long-read DNA sequencing.”
