DNA sequencing is undergoing a revolution. Sanger sequencing has reached its limits and is being replaced by a new generation of technologies that promise faster and cheaper delivery of sequencing information. The application of these technologies is already having a huge impact in fields as diverse whole–genome sequencing, disease genetics and epigenomics.
Produced in collaboration with Nature Genetics, this poster enables readers to quickly grasp the methods that form the basis of the current leading technologies. As well as explaining how they provide such high–throughput information so rapidly, understanding how these technologies work is key to appreciating which approach is best suited to which application.
Listen to the Nature Genetics and Nature Reviews Genetics Podcast to hear how leading researchers envisage next–generation sequencing technologies will shape the future of genetic and genomic research.
