In genetics and biochemistry, sequencing means to
determine the primary structure (sometimes incorrectly
called the primary sequence) of an unbranched biopolymer.
Sequencing refers to the general laboratory technique for
determining the arrangement of nucleotides, or bases, or
amino acid in a DNA, RNA and protein molecule.

• Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a massively parallel sequencing. (A high-
throughput method used to determine a portion of the nucleotide sequence of an
individual's genome.) technology that offers ultra-high throughput, scalability,
and speed.
• Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing
• Using NGS an entire human genome can be sequenced within a single day.
7. PrincipleOf NGS
7
The fragments of DNA or RNA are ligated with adaptors to create genomic
libraries which are sequenced in the massively parallel event.
The final results are reassembled and analyzed to study the genome
8. High-throughput DNA Sequencing Technique.
Employs Micro and Nanotechnologies
Reduce sample size.
Low reagent cost
less time
Massive Parallel Sequencing
Sequence thousands of sequences at once.
Produce enormous amount of data.

Pyrosequencing
Sequencingbyligation Ionsemiconductorsequencing
The pyrosequencing method is based on the
detection of the pyrophosphate release on
nucleotide incorporation. Due this
incorporation light is emitted which is
detect by detector
Large read lengths generation
High reagent cost
High error over 6+ homopolymers
Sequencing by synthesis utilized the step
by step incorporation of fluorescent.
Sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology
uses four fluorescently labeled
nucleotides to sequence. When a
nucleotide incorporate a specific light
emitted which detect by detector
Increased error rate with increased read
length
Synthesis by ligation used DNA ligase. It
used 16 8-mer oligonucleotides probes,
each one of 4 fluorescent dyes
Used for very short read lengths
Ion semiconductor sequencing utilized the
released of hydrogen ions during
sequencing. Sequencing conducted on a
semiconductor transistor which capable of
detecting changes in the pH of solution
Similar to pyrophosphate
More cost-effective and time efficient

14. ApplicationsofNGS
14
Rapidly sequencing of whole genomes
Deeply sequence target regions to detect mutation
Utilize RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to discover novel RNA variants and
splice sites, or quantify mRNAs for gene expression analysis
Analyze epigenetic factors such as genome-wide DNA methylation and
DNA-protein interactions
Sequence cancer samples to study rare somatic variants, tumor
subclones, and more
Study the human microbiome
Identify novel pathogens
15. ApplicationsofNGS
15
Higher sensitivity to detect low-frequency variants
Lower limit of detection
Higher capacity with sample multiplexing
Ability to sequence hundreds to thousands of genes or gene regions
simultaneously
ChallengesinNGS
Less cost-effective for sequencing low numbers of targets (1–20
targets)
Time-consuming for sequencing low numbers of targets (1–20 targets)
