Gene sequencing technologies and their application in cancer research

Abstract

The continuous development of gene sequencing technology has made the next-generation sequencing technology and the third-generation sequencing technology gradually applied to scientific research, which has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of sequencing and reduced the cost. The incidence of tumors in the human population continues to rise, making tumors gradually become one of the most serious diseases that endanger health. In view of the close relationship between gene mutations and tumorigenesis, the progress of gene sequencing technology has a profound impact on clinical research on tumors. In this thesis, literature analysis was used to introduce several gene sequencing technologies and compare them from multiple perspectives. In addition, the causes of tumorigenesis and the role of sequencing technology in the clinical research of human tumors were investigated. This paper found that the third-generation sequencing technology was more efficient than the next-generation sequencing technology, but it was difficult to be widely used due to its lower accuracy. Sequencing technology is of great help to tumor clinical research.
