Genome Projects and Sequencing Technologies · Zoology

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are characterized by:

  1. Very low throughput per sequencing run
  2. High cost incurred per sequenced base
  3. Parallel sequencing of millions of fragments
  4. Mandatory use of radioactive labeling reagents
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Parallel sequencing of millions of fragments

NGS allows simultaneous sequencing of millions of DNA fragments. This greatly increases speed and reduces cost per base.
