How long does next-generation sequencing (NGS) take?
Posted May 9, 2020
Answer
The length of time that next-generation sequencing takes depends on the platform and size of the genome being sequenced, so it can take anywhere from 3 hours to around a day or more. For example, sequencing with the Ion PGM can take around 3 hours, while Illumina’s NextSeq 500 and MiSeq may take anywhere between 15-26 hours and 5-55 hours, respectively.
