New sequencing methods

Today, DNA sequencing is part of the standard repertoire biological and medical research. Next generation (NGS), established around mid-2000s, was main catalyst for this development. NGS has led to major knowledge gains in molecular life sciences. However, new technology provides data that pose challenges both science society still must learn deal with. A technology-driven dynamic can already be observed field, leading transformation processes science, where fields research are emerging, but also society, questions identity increasingly being negotiated based on genetic analyses.
