DNA sequencing, the process of delineating the order of bases (A, C, T, G) in a section of DNA, was first carried out in the 1970s.
There have been many developments since then, resulting in a range of modern sequencing techniques and technologies spanning diverse uses, both in the clinic and in academic research.
This article will explore two commonly used sequencing methods, NGS vs Sanger Sequencing sequencing methods, looking at how they work, their respective advantages and disadvantages, and their applications.
