What is NGS?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), also known as massively parallel sequencing, refers to high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies. NGS allows for sequencing of millions of DNA molecules simultaneously. Common uses include whole-genome sequencing, targeted sequencing of specific genes, RNA sequencing (transcriptome analysis), and metagenomics (studying microbial communities).
What other technologies are related to NGS?
NGS Competitor Technologies
Sanger
Sanger sequencing is a first-generation sequencing technology and is thus a direct competitor to NGS technologies, though it is typically used for smaller scale validation of NGS results.
MLPA
MLPA is used for copy number variation analysis, which is an alternative to NGS-based methods for the same purpose.
microarray
Microarrays are an alternative method for gene expression analysis and variant detection, making them a competitor to NGS.
FISH
FISH is used for detecting and localizing specific DNA sequences on chromosomes, acting as an alternative to NGS-based methods.
Sanger sequencing
Sanger sequencing is a first-generation sequencing technology and is a direct competitor, though it is typically used for smaller scale validation of NGS results.
Nanopore
Nanopore sequencing is another type of next-generation sequencing, and thus is a competitor.
