Process- and Quality-Control For Next-Generation Sequencing Studies

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) allows the entire genome of an organism to be sequenced quickly (within days) and affordably (less than $10,000). Continued technological advances are reducing both time and cost, and soon this approach will become viable for routine commercial applications. NGS has allowed researchers to understand evolutionary history, improve and optimize agricultural practices and better understand fundamental properties of the cell. In the future, creative entrepreneurs will develop clever new commercial applications that leverage cost-effective NGS.
