Next generation sequencing (NGS): DNAplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigDNA: deoxyribonucleic acid. The genetic material for nearly all life on Earth. sequencingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSequencing: the procedure used to determine the sequence of a biological polymer such as DNA, RNA, or protein. Although there are indeed biochemical techniques that can be used to directly sequence RNA or protein, these methods are almost never used in modern molecular genetics research - instead, RNA technologies that were developed after Sanger sequencingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSanger sequencing: an older DNA sequencing technology invented in 1977 by Fredrick Sanger. and are much more higher throughput than Sanger sequencingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSanger sequencing: an older DNA sequencing technology invented in 1977 by Fredrick Sanger.. Includes methods such as Illumina sequencingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigIllumina sequencing: named after the company that developed this method, Illumina sequencing is currently the most widely used NGS technology for high throughput DNA sequencing., 454 pyrosequencing, Nanopore sequencingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSequencing: the procedure used to determine the sequence of a biological polymer such as DNA, RNA, or protein. Although there are indeed biochemical techniques that can be used to directly sequence RNA or protein, these methods are almost never used in modern molecular genetics research - instead, RNA, etc.
