In recent years, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the field of genomics, offering researchers unprecedented insight into genetic information with speed, accuracy, and depth. Avrok Biosciences is excited to support scientists and researchers in harnessing the full potential of NGS, providing advanced sequencing services that can help drive breakthrough discoveries in a wide range of fields.
What is Next Generation Sequencing?
Next Generation Sequencing, or NGS, refers to a set of powerful DNA sequencing technologies that allow the rapid sequencing of large amounts of genetic material. Unlike traditional Sanger sequencing, which sequences one DNA fragment at a time, NGS is capable of sequencing millions of fragments simultaneously, vastly increasing throughput. This makes NGS a more efficient and cost-effective option for a variety of applications—from basic research and clinical studies to agricultural and environmental genomics.
Applications of NGS
NGS has a wide array of applications, enabling researchers to explore genetic information at scales and levels of detail that were previously unimaginable. Some of the primary uses include:
- Genomic Research: NGS is foundational for genome-wide studies, enabling full sequencing of individual genomes or metagenomic samples. Researchers can identify mutations, structural variations, and other genetic markers that provide insights into biological processes.
- Transcriptomics: With RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), scientists can examine gene expression patterns, track changes in RNA levels over time, and study differential expression across conditions. This is essential for understanding gene regulation, cellular responses, and mechanisms of diseases.
- Epigenetics: NGS allows researchers to map DNA methylation and histone modifications, uncovering epigenetic changes that regulate gene expression and contribute to development, aging, and disease.
- Oncology: NGS is widely used to identify cancer-related genetic mutations, enabling personalized medicine approaches that match therapies to individual genetic profiles for more effective treatment.
- Microbial and Infectious Disease Studies: By sequencing the genomes of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, NGS helps researchers investigate pathogen evolution, track outbreaks, and develop targeted treatments.
- High-Resolution HLA Typing: HLA typing is essential in immunogenetics and transplant compatibility, and with our high-resolution capabilities, we can offer accurate and detailed typing results for both clinical and research applications.
