Sanger Sequencing
Amplicon sequencing is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technique specifically used to analyze target gene regions. It typically utilizes customized PCR to select and amplify the desired sequences, followed by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for sequencing. This method is widely applied in various fields, such as microbial diversity studies, genetic variation detection, and cancer gene research.
Plasmid sequencing is a genetic sequencing technique specifically used to analyze the complete DNA sequence of plasmids to ensure their accuracy, detect mutations, or identify functional elements such as promoters, antibiotic resistance genes, and reporter genes. This technique is crucial in molecular biology, synthetic biology, genetic engineering, and medical research.

mRNA-seq (messenger RNA sequencing) is a high-throughput sequencing technology designed to analyze the transcriptome, which represents gene expression in cells or tissues. This technique is primarily based on Illumina short-read sequencing platforms, providing accurate and large-scale RNA sequence information. It is widely used in biomedical research, gene expression studies, and disease mechanism investigations.
Human Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a high-throughput sequencing technology that focuses on sequencing the exonic regions of the genome, which contain protein-coding genes. Since exons only make up about 1–2% of the human genome but harbor approximately 85% of known disease-related variants, WES provides a cost-effective and efficient method for detecting genetic variations associated with diseases, hereditary conditions, and functional mutations.
Human Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a high-throughput sequencing technology that deciphers the entire 3 billion base pairs of the human genome. Unlike Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), which focuses only on coding regions (exons), WGS covers both coding and non-coding regions, including regulatory elements, intergenic regions, and structural variations. This makes WGS the most comprehensive method for identifying genetic variations, structural rearrangements, and disease-associated mutations.
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing is a high-throughput sequencing approach used to analyze the entire genetic content of microbial communities in an unbiased, culture-independent manner. Unlike 16S rRNA sequencing, which focuses only on bacterial taxonomy, shotgun metagenomics enables the comprehensive study of microbial diversity, functional genes, metabolic pathways, and microbial interactions within an ecosystem. This method is widely applied in environmental microbiology, human microbiome research, infectious disease studies, and biotechnology applications.
RAD-seq (Restriction-site Associated DNA Sequencing) is a cost-effective reduced-representation sequencing technique used to study genetic variation across the genome. By targeting regions flanking restriction enzyme cut sites, RAD-seq enables high-resolution SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) discovery, making it particularly useful for population genetics, evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, and marker-assisted selection.
Unlike whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which sequences the entire genome, RAD-seq focuses only on specific genomic regions, significantly reducing sequencing costs while maintaining high informativeness.
