Next generation sequencing technologies

Drug Discov Today Technol. 2005 Autumn;2(3):255-60. doi: 10.1016/j.ddtec.2005.08.003.

Abstract

From the investigation of disease-associated loci in humans, to monitoring the changing genomes of pathogenic viruses and bacteria, sequencing is a powerful and versatile tool. A new generation of sequencing technologies will increase the speed and lower the cost of sequencing, and promises to expand the utility of sequencing in drug discovery and development.:
