NGS technology is used to sequence millions of small fragments of DNA simultaneously. The technology is similar to capillary electrophoresis, where the bases of a small fragment of DNA are sequentially identified from signals emitted and each fragment is resynthesized from a DNA template strand. The major difference is the NGS process is extended across millions of reactions in a parallel fashion rather than being restricted to a single or a few DNA fragments. NGS technology enables rapid sequencing of large stretches of DNA base pairs spanning entire genomes with highly sophisticated instruments capable of producing hundreds of gigabytes of data in a single sequencing run. NGS finds application in whole-genome, exome, and transcriptome sequencing. NGS coupled with bioinformatics tools has revolutionized cancer research, diagnosis, and therapy. This technology helps to track and trace the spread of disease and foreign contaminants in drugs.

Bioinformatics, a combination of biology and IT, is used to perform computational analyses of the DNA and protein sequences contained in biological databases. This field of science caters to molecular biology, structural biology, genomics, and gene expression and is one of the more attractive segments of the global next-generation sequencing market. It is used to identify SNPs and candidate genes responsible for variations between pre-specified genes of interest and disease states or phenotypes. The analysis focuses on three dataset types: macromolecular structures, genome sequences, and functional genomics experiments.

Agricultural enzymes are complex protein molecules derived from sources such as plant or animal tissues and microbes.

Surfactants are compounds that reduce the surface pressure between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. They are amphiphilic in nature, so they are used as emulsifying agents, detergents, and dispersants. Surfactants integrated with living cells or micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeast are called bio-surfactants. Bio-surfactants are manufactured using oleochemical raw materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats, sucrose, and glucose. Biosurfactants have emerged as the most versatile type of bio-process chemical and are widely used in industries such as cosmetics, personal care, bioremediation, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food processing.
