Next-Generation Sequencing: A high-throughput method used to determine a portion of the nucleotide sequence of an individual's genome. This technique utilizes DNA sequencing technologies that are capable of processing multiple DNA sequences in parallel. Also called massively parallel sequencing and NGS.
In order to realize the benefits of personalized cancer therapy, increasing demands are placed upon clinical laboratories to provide timely, comprehensive, clinically actionable, and analytic...
The biological state of the cell is characterized by a complex network of interacting genes, gene products, proteins, microRNAs, as well as other molecules. Microarrays and next generation se...
DNA methylation is an essential mechanism of epigenetic gene regulation with broad relevance in development and disease. Its localization on genomic DNA and general stability make this epigen...
It is estimated that by the end of this year more than 1 million people worldwide will have had their genome sequenced. Genomic sequencing is increasingly being integrated into clinical care,...
The rapid implementation of next generation sequencing is changing how genetics and genomics are applied in a clinical setting. However, the quickly evolving technology can be challenging to...
