The application of massively parallel sequencing technologies in diagnostics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) is rapidly evolving and is starting to be utilized by the clinical field as well as diagnostics. We describe major recent advances that have come about as a result of the application of MPS in the biomedical field and the first approaches in medical genetics that have made use of MPS. Without any doubt, MPS has proven to be a very powerful technique. To unravel the capabilities of MPS for patient care, the most important aspect for the acceptance of MPS within clinics and diagnostics is to guarantee that the large amount of data undergoes vitally important analyses and interpretation and is securely managed.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a moniker used to represent multiple highthroughput or massively parallel nucleic acid sequencing technologies that have emerged since the mid 2000s. These technologies collectively constitute some of the greatest advances made in biomedical sciences in the past three decades (Meldrum et al., 2011). Utilizing NGS approaches, it has become possible for a singl...
