Cancer Research: NGS can be used to sequence tumor tissues to identify genetic mutations and alterations that drive cancer progression. This information can help in developing targeted therapies. Pathogen Detection: NGS can identify pathogens present in tissue samples, which is crucial for diagnosing infections and understanding the pathology of infectious diseases. Gene Expression Analysis: NGS can be used to study the expression patterns of genes in different tissues, providing insights into normal and diseased states. Developmental Biology: NGS helps in understanding the genetic regulation of tissue development and differentiation.
