Abstract

The demand for accurate, faster, and inexpensive sequencing of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is increasing and is driving the emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. NGS can provide useful insights to help researchers and clinicians to develop the right treatment options. NGS has wide applications in novel fields in biology and medicine. These technologies are of great aid to decode mysteries of life, to improve the quality of crops to detect the pathogens, and also useful in improving life qualities. Thousands to millions of molecules can be sequenced simultaneously in parallel using various NGS methods. NGS can identify and characterize the microbial species more comprehensively than culture-based methods. Recently, the NGS approach has been used for oral microbial analysis.

Keywords: DNA; NGS; Oral microbial analysis.
