What does ngs mean?

Ngs is high-throughput sequencing technology.

High-throughput sequencing sequencing, also known as "next generation" sequencing technology, is called "Ngs" for short, which is characterized by being able to measure hundreds of thousands to millions of DNA molecules in parallel at one time, and generally has a short reading length.

High-throughput sequencing technology is to randomly fragment DNA (or cDNA) and add linker to prepare sequencing library. By extending tens of thousands of clones in the library, the corresponding signals were detected and finally the sequence information was obtained.
