Several advanced techniques are employed in genomic analysis, including:
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): This high-throughput method allows for the rapid sequencing of large segments of DNA, providing detailed genetic information. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): PCR is used to amplify specific DNA sequences, making it easier to study specific genes. Microarrays: These are used to detect gene expression levels and identify genetic variations across the genome. Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES): This technique focuses on sequencing the exons, the coding regions of the genome, which can reveal mutations that cause disease.
