Sequencing technology

Sequencing technology refers to methods used to determine the exact order of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA) in a genome. This technology allows scientists to read the genetic code of organisms, which can help in identifying genetic disorders, understanding diseases, and improving crops. The process involves breaking DNA into small pieces, reading the sequences, and then piecing them back together like a puzzle. Advances in sequencing technology have made it faster and cheaper, enabling widespread applications in research, medicine, and biotechnology.
