Noida, UP -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/11/2014 -- With its unprecedented throughput, scalability, and speed, NGS enables researchers to study biological systems at a level never before possible. Innovative NGS sample preparation and data analysis options enable a broad range of applications. As new innovations and disease diagnosis techniques arrive in the market, NGS platforms can be built accordingly. NGS manufacturers continue to heavily invest in clinical applications for NGS. It is expected that over the next few years, the clinical applications will focus primarily on non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and oncology with other applications in infectious diseases, HLA typing, and idiopathic diseases.
