Several advanced technologies are employed in genome sequencing, including:
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): This technology allows for the high-throughput sequencing of millions of DNA fragments simultaneously, making it possible to sequence entire genomes quickly and cost-effectively. Single-Cell Sequencing: This technique enables the analysis of the genetic material from individual cells, which is particularly useful in studying the heterogeneity within tissues. Long-Read Sequencing: Technologies like PacBio and Oxford Nanopore provide longer read lengths, which are beneficial for resolving complex genomic regions and structural variants.
