Emergence of genome mapping systems propels growth for next-generation sequencing market

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a modern technology that has the capability to perform parallel decoding of RNA or DNA fragment that is based on single-molecule sequencing or sequencing-by-synthesis principles. It generates a massive amount of data that can be analyzed with the help of dedicated bioinformatics tools. Next-generation sequencing platforms can be utilized for monitoring, identifying, detecting, and discovering living organisms. With the rapid development and widespread applications of NGS technologies, it is within reach to use genome sequence information to help in the discoveries that decode life mysteries, detect pathogens, make crops better, and improve overall life qualities.

NGS plays a crucial role in clinical diagnostics by directing the focus on free-circulating DNA for monitoring the development of tumors during the treatment of patients. In addition to this, next-generation sequencing can be used as a powerful tool for mapping microbial populations or detecting pathogenic microbes. Furthermore, NGS also finds application in the agricultural sector where it is used for genetic selection to improve the crop. Growing awareness about the next-generation sequencing, rising investments for research activities, and reduction in the price of NGS platforms creating a positive environment for the global NGS market.
