How do high-throughput techniques such as computer-automated, next-generation sequencing, and mass spectrometry facilitate research in genomics and proteomics? Explain.

Question

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following is a high throughput approach used in Genomics research? Let's go over each of our answer choices so that we may solve this problem. Let's begin by answer choice. A we have maxim and Gilbert sequencing and this is the type of sequencing that was used in the 1970s. And one of the things that it has is that it's manual. So we can really do a lot of sequencing with it at a fast rate. It is not very high throughput. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have micro injection or remember from previous videos that micro injection refers to inserting D N A inside of a specific cell and then studying this. However, this is not going to be directly genomics research. We cannot do any sequencing with this. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have next generation sequencing or answer choice B sequencing refers to genomics research. It refers to studying the genome of an organism. And next generation sequencing is going to be a very just modern techniques of doing this which allows us to study the genome of an organism at a very fast and cheap rates. Because of this, we can do a large amount of sequencing is a very high throughput approach. And we're going to highlight it as a final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
