Genomics
Illumina sequencing is a widely used next-generation sequencing technology that enables the rapid and cost-effective determination of nucleotide sequences in DNA. It utilizes a sequencing by synthesis approach, where fluorescently labeled nucleotides are incorporated into a growing DNA strand and detected through imaging. This method has transformed genome assembly strategies and microbial genome annotation by allowing for high-throughput sequencing of complex genomes.
