sequencing technologies

Sequencing technologies are advanced methods used to determine the precise order of DNA, RNA, or proteins in a sample. These techniques allow scientists to read genetic information, helping to understand how living organisms function, how diseases develop, and how to create targeted therapies. Two major types are Sanger sequencing, which is accurate but slower and costlier, and next-generation sequencing (NGS), which is faster and can process large amounts of data at once. These tools are essential for research in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology, paving the way for developments like personalized medicine and genetic testing.
