Comparison Between Illumina and Nanopore Sequencing Technologies
What is Illumina Sequencing? Illumina sequencing is a second-generation sequencing technology that has become a powerful tool for genomics research. The method uses reversible dye terminator technology to detect the sequence of a DNA molecule. The process begins by fragmenting the DNA sample into short fragments, typically 100-150 base pairs (bp) in length. These fragments are then ligated to a universal adapter and annealed to a slide.
