How Has Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Advanced Cancer Research?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized cancer genomics by allowing for the rapid and comprehensive analysis of entire genomes. This technology enables researchers to identify genetic mutations, structural variations, and other genomic alterations with high accuracy and speed. As a result, NGS has facilitated the discovery of novel cancer-associated genes and pathways, and it has significantly enhanced our understanding of the genetic basis of various cancer types.
