Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Next Gen sequencing is high-throughput sequencing that runs in parallel fashion, producing thousands or millions of sequencing at once. Next Gen sequencing is considered a more cost-effective way to approach DNA sequencing.
With next generation sequencing you can:
- Find out exactly at which site(s) in the genome a specific transcription factor binds
- Obtain the complete profile of microRNAs expressed in a tissue from any organism
- Sequence an entire cDNA library to get gene expression levels from every isoform
- Access the complete variation profile of every coding region in the human genome
