Massively Parallel Sequencing

Massively Parallel Sequencing, also known as next-generation sequencing, is a technique that allows scientists to analyze many DNA segments simultaneously. Instead of reading one piece of DNA at a time, this method sequences millions of small DNA fragments at once, rapidly providing a comprehensive view of an organism's genetic code. It’s like having thousands of tiny sequencing machines working together, which makes genetic analysis faster, more efficient, and cost-effective. This technology is widely used in research, medicine, and diagnostics to understand diseases, identify genetic mutations, and explore biological functions.
