Abstract

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized the field of genomics, allowing for high throughput, cost-effective, and rapid sequencing of entire genomes, exomes, and transcriptomes. In the realm of precision medicine, NGS plays a pivotal role in understanding the genetic underpinnings of diseases and enabling tailored treatments. This paper explores the transformative impact of NGS on precision medicine by focusing on its application in diagnosing genetic disorders, guiding personalized treatments, and predicting disease risk. By examining the benefits, challenges, and future potential of NGS, the paper demonstrates how this technology is unlocking new possibilities for individualized healthcare and optimizing patient outcomes
