 What have I learned?

Using the resources provided by my professors (https://moodle-courses2021.wolfware.ncsu.edu/course/view.php?id=6573&section=3) I was able to see key differences between Sanger sequencing and NGS. Sanger sequencing is much faster and cost effective for less than 20 target sequences because it can only sequence one strand at a time. NGS can sequence many strands all at the same time. It is quicker and cost effective for sequencing more than 20 targets. It is also advantageous because it requires less sample input and can read lower allele frequencies than Sanger sequencing which allows for more DNA to be sequenced in a shorter amount of time.
