The so-called “next-generation” sequencing (NGS) technologies allows us, in a short time and in parallel, to sequence massive amounts of DNA, overcoming the limitations of the original Sanger sequencing methods used to sequence the first human genome. In this talk Francesc Lopez, Director of Bioinformatics at Yale, provides an overview of NGS applications with specific examples from Mendelian genomics and cancer research.
