Next-Generation Sequencing's Parallel Structure

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

Next-generation sequencing automates rapid, parallel sequencing of huge numbers of short DNA fragments at once.

Show

A sequencer reads large numbers of short fragments simultaneously, and software assembles the results into contigs.

Watch for

"Parallel" means many fragments sequenced at once, not a faster read of one long fragment — it names automation and scale, not Sanger's chemistry.
