Next-generation sequencing (NGS)- in Healthcare
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomics by enabling the rapid and cost-effective sequencing of entire genomes. This technology allows researchers to analyze millions of genetic fragments simultaneously, vastly increasing throughput compared to traditional methods like Sanger sequencing. NGS advancements have paved the way for precision medicine, where treatments can be personalized based on an individual’s genetic profile. This is especially significant in oncology, where a tumor’s genetic makeup can inform targeted therapies. Beyond oncology, NGS is also widely applied in population genetics, infectious disease tracking, and personalized healthcare, making it a cornerstone of modern biomedical research.
