    GlossaryNext-Generation Sequencing (high-throughput sequencing)

    modern DNA sequencing technology that processes millions of fragments simultaneously

    Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a modern DNA sequencing technology that allows for the rapid sequencing of large stretches of DNA or entire genomes. Unlike traditional methods, NGS can process millions of DNA fragments simultaneously, making it a powerful tool for genetic research, including studying genetic causes of diseases like alopecia.
