Abstract:
Novel DNA sequencing techniques, referred to as "next-generation" sequencing (NGS), provide high speed and throughput by increasing the number of bases obtained per sequencing run drastically while at the same time decreasing the costs per base. NGS can produce an enormous volume of sequences with many possible applications in research. In this presentation, I would provide an overview of three emerging Next generation sequencing technologies including Illumina (MiSeq, Next-Seq), Thermofisher Scientific (Ion torrent) and BGI China (MGI Sequencers) and how these instruments are being used for genome sequencing and resequencing, targeted gene sequencing, transcriptional profiling (RNA-Seq), high-throughput survey of DNA-proteininteractions (ChIP-Seq) and methylome studies. NGS can be used for metagenomics studies as well as for the detection of sequence variations within individual genomes, clinical testing especially Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) for genetic syndromes and Cancer panel testing for precision medicine.
