What Technologies are Used for Genomic Sequencing?
Several advanced technologies are used for genomic sequencing:
1. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): This technology allows the rapid sequencing of large amounts of DNA, making it possible to sequence entire genomes quickly and cost-effectively. 2. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): PCR is used to amplify specific DNA sequences, making them easier to study. 3. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS): WGS provides a comprehensive view of the entire genome, which is particularly useful for studying pathogen evolution and epidemiology.
