Novel Next-Generation Sequencing Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Next Generation Sequencing Technologies and Challenges in Sequence Assembly

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Systems Biology ((BRIEFSBIOSYS,volume 7))

Abstract

Next-generation sequencing technologies have pushed the envelope beyond the primary goal of identifying the sequence of nucleotides within a given DNA molecule to a whole new multitude of applications. In this chapter, we describe select novel applications of next-generation sequencing in relation to large-scale sequencing-based projects, cell and cell compartments sequencing and disease-targeted sequencing.
