Adaptive sequencing

Adaptive sequencing is a dynamic method used in DNA analysis where the process adjusts in real-time based on initial results. As the sequencing machine reads DNA, it analyzes the data on-the-fly and decides whether to continue or change its focus, such as targeting specific regions of interest. This approach improves efficiency by prioritizing important sections, reduces unnecessary data collection, and enhances accuracy for applications like identifying pathogens or genetic variations. Essentially, it makes DNA sequencing more intelligent and responsive, tailoring the procedure to obtain the most relevant information efficiently.
