DNA sequencing is a fast-moving science with technologies and platforms being updated at breathtaking speed. The hallmark of next generation sequencing (NGS) has been a massive increase in throughput and a decrease in price compared with previous technologies. The first next-generation DNA sequencing machine was introduced to the market by 454 Life Sciences (Basel, Switzerland) in 2005.
