Next Generation Sequencing Technologies: A Short Review

Abstract

When the editorial board invited me to write this short review, I remembered my old dream since thirty years ago, is it possible for mankind to live without more health burden? Scientists can answer a lot of difficult questions like this one. The science is growing very fast and next generation sequencing technologies are currently the hottest topic in the field of human and animal genomics researches. In this mini review, I have highlighted some basic knowledge about next generation sequencing technologies and its value for human health.
