What is sequencing?

Sequencing refers to determining the order of nucleotides (the sequence) within a DNA or RNA molecule. It's used in various applications including identifying genes, diagnosing diseases, personalized medicine, and understanding evolutionary relationships. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have greatly increased the speed and throughput of sequencing, making it a fundamental tool in modern biology and medicine.

What other technologies are related to sequencing?

sequencing Competitor Technologies

Southern blotting can provide information about DNA sequence homology and copy number, but it is lower resolution and throughput than sequencing.
