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.
