Abstract
The next-generation sequencing methods that we described in Chap. 3 were implemented into several commercial instruments in order to make the sequencing technologies available to individual laboratories. In this chapter, we will overview the major DNA sequencing platforms and present several comparisons for their advantages, disadvantages, sequencing costs, and other aspects.
