Whole genome or exome sequencing enables the fast generation of large volumes of data and is currently a hot topic in research. This technique has the subject of extensive research and has vast applications in healthcare and medicine. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has the advantage of providing large length reads when compared to the traditional method of Sanger Sequencing. NGS enables the identification of genetic disease-causing variants, thus, improving the quality of healthcare, diagnostics and biomedical research.
