The image describes the step-by-step process of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), starting with the text 'DNA extraction' and an image of a tubule containing cells and an enlarged image of DNA. An arrow points to the next image, which shows scissors cutting DNA and the cut segments of DNA being flattened and lined up. The text above the image reads “Fragmentation of input genomes”. An arrow points to the third image with the text ”Attaching adaptors for barcoding and preparation of a sequencing library”. The image shows adaptors being attached to both sides of the flattened, cut DNA segments. An arrow points to the text “Simultaneous and independent sequencing of millions of fragments”, next to an image of DNA bases sequenced “ATTCG”. The last arrow points to an image of a computer with the text “Bioinformatics: Assembly of sequences, annotation”.
Sequencing methodologies such as Next-Generation Sequencing could serve as part of a verification regime, allowing the detection of unauthorized research activity. Read more on these #biotechnologies in the new Fact Sheet by @k3kr.bsky.social. #OpenAccess
