Next-gen DNA Sequencing Trials Unveiled at ISHI

The future of DNA analysis is next-generation sequencing, also known as massively parallel sequencing. The technology literally adds another dimension by analyzing the fundamental building block of life at a deeper level than ever before—a big-data dive to depths of single alleles.

Battelle and its scientists unveiled the results of the first wide forensic science trials of “NGS” last week at the International Symposium for Human Identification.
