Several advanced technologies are employed in genomic research, including:
- Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Allows for the rapid sequencing of entire genomes. - CRISPR-Cas9: A gene-editing technology that can modify DNA sequences and potentially correct genetic defects. - Bioinformatics: Computational tools that analyze genomic data to identify patterns and correlations. - Microarrays: Used to study gene expression and identify genetic variants.
