Evolution and Principles of DNA Sequencing Technologies

DNA Structure and Replication → Applications and Impact of Sequencing

This learning path guides genomics and molecular biology students from foundational concepts in DNA structure and polymerase chain reaction through the principles, workflows, and trade-offs of major sequencing platforms: Sanger, Illumina, Ion Torrent, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore. It emphasizes the conceptual evolution from short-read to long-read technologies and prepares learners to compare and select appropriate sequencing methods.
