Next-generation sequencing (NGS)
Reading millions of DNA fragments in parallel, the engine behind every modern genomic test.
Short-read (Illumina) dominates clinical use; long-read (PacBio, Oxford Nanopore) resolves structural variants and methylation. Panels, exomes, genomes, and transcriptomes are all NGS applications.
