Exploring next generation sequencing in Pakistan |
|---|
|
The introduction of next-generation sequencing in 2007 created a bit of a buzz in the world of genomics? as it brought with it a fundamentally different approach to DNA sequencing?.
The principles are in some ways similar to capillary sequencing where the bases? of a small section of DNA? are identified and recorded. However, rather than being limited to just a few DNA fragments, next-generation sequencing extends this process so that millions of samples can be sequenced, all at the same time. For this reason it is sometimes called massively parallel sequencing. As a result, large amounts of DNA can be sequenced at rapid speed. With some next-generation sequencing machines researchers can sequence more than five human genomes per machine in just under a week. Molecular biology and genomics technologies are developing rapidly. This workshop will provide an introduction to state of the art Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms, data analyses, bioinformatics tools to analyze NGS transcriptomic, genomic and small RNA sequence data. The workshop consist of lectures, computer-based practical sessions and discussions with case studies from life science research.

Thank you Ahtisham for sharing this article , DNA Sequencing is a vital tool in diagnostic of human and plant diseases .More research need to be done to lower the cost associated in sequencing plants and animal genomes for purposes of research in particular developing countries of Africa and Asia .@Christy I wish to get a copy of that Book , seems interesting to read

The author of the book 'singularity is coming' said that human will be immortal by the year of 2045. So he extremely cares about anti-aging care :) It seems that the day is coming faster. Thank you for sharing the interesting issue!
