- Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS; also known as deep sequencing or ultra-high throughput sequencing) has probably been the most important tool for genomic research over the past few years. NGS has led to numerous discoveries and scientific breakthroughs in the genetic field. The sequencing technology that has entered the research laboratory in the past decade is now being introduced into the clinical diagnostic laboratory. Consequently, NGS results are becoming available in the medical arena as abundance of clinically relevant variants, conferring predisposition to disease, are being discovered at a growing rate (Stanley, 2014).
