High-throughput Sequencing Technology and Its Application in Epigenetics Studies

DNA sequencing technology is one of the important tools in modern life science research, and with the development of science and technology, sequencing technology is constantly changing. High-throughput sequencing technology is known as the second generation sequencing technology. Compared with Sanger sequencing technology, high-throughput sequencing technology has the characteristics of high throughput, fast speed and low cost. In this paper, the researcher briefly introduced the emergence and development of DNA sequencing technology, and expounded the application of high-throughput sequencing in epigenetic research from the aspects of DNA methylation and histone modification.
