Healthcare, Biotech & Pharma - Next Generation Sequencing

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is an advanced technology that enables massive, parallel sequencing of millions of DNA or RNA fragments, revolutionising modern genomics. Evolving from Sanger's early methods, NGS has cut time and costs, finding wide use in medicine, biology, forensic science and research. The process consists of four steps: library preparation, clonal amplification, sequencing (with techniques such as SBS, nanopore or SMRT) and bioinformatic analysis. Clinical applications are expanding rapidly: from the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases to precision cancer medicine and pathogen detection in infectious diseases. With automation, artificial intelligence and miniaturisation of devices, NGS is now more accessible and effective, becoming a mainstay in advanced diagnostics and the development of personalized therapies.
