Cracking the code: How targered next generation sequencing methods are personalizing medicine
Abstract
This infographic outlines next generation sequencing methods, new technologies that allow for the fast sequencing of people’s entire genomes. It explains a study which showed the effectiveness of one NGS technology compared to standard sequencing techniques. It shows how the quick and efficient sequencing of a person’s genome can allow for medical care to be personalized to their genetic makeup and detect genetic predispositions to disease.
