Genetic data has gone the way of fast food: It's cheap, speedy, and widely available. And that's a good thing, because the sequence of bases—the As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that comprise DNA—contains a lot of information. Doctors can use that sequence to track changes in cancer cells as they mutate, researchers can use it to discover new disease-associated genes, and nonscientists can use it to divine their medical destiny. Next-gen sequencing machines make all that possible—and they use a couple of different technologies to get it right.
