DNA sequencing is the process of determining the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. The technique is widely used in life sciences and medicine and continues to grow in popularity thanks to the advances and convenience of Next Generation Sequencing platforms. As researchers explore more challenging samples and applications, they are pushing the limits of current technologies. The rapid development of Next Generation Sequencing has been instrumental in accelerating biological and medical research, making it an important tool for research and diagnostics.

In this webinar we will present the history of Next Generation Sequencing, including an overview of the available sequencing platforms – Illumina, Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technology – and their different principles. We will also explore the most commonly used sequencing strategies in DNA research, such as whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, metagenomics, epigenomics and others. Join us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in Next Generation Sequencing applications in DNA research.

Learning Objectives:

• Current methodologies in Next Generation Sequencing
• DNA sequencing parameters, including sample types and requirements
