high-throughput sequencing

High-throughput sequencing is a technology that rapidly reads the genetic code of DNA or RNA on a large scale. It allows scientists to analyze millions of genetic fragments simultaneously, providing detailed information about an organism’sgenes or how genes are expressed. This process involves breaking down genetic material into small pieces, reading their sequences quickly, and then piecing the data together. High-throughput sequencing accelerates research in medicine, biology, and environmental science by making genetic analysis faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive than traditional methods, enabling breakthroughs in understanding disease, evolution, and more.
