Over the course of the subsequent decade, remarkable headway has been achieved in terms of amplifying speed, elongating read lengths, and honing high-throughput techniques. This collective progress has had the profound effect of democratizing NGS, fostering the origination of numerous inventive applications in both foundational scientific research and impactful translational domains such as mapping, annotation, and comparative genomics analysis.

These cutting-edge technologies have effectively accelerated the tempo of DNA and RNA sequencing, while substantially mitigating the temporal investment and financial expenses, in stark contrast to the traditional Sanger sequencing approach. As a result, they have inaugurated a revolutionary epoch for investigating genomics and molecular biology.
