In other words, you get the nucleotide sequence of the DNA you are investigating. Perhaps you were asking about the accuracy. The error rates for these technologies vary, but is typically less than one percent (1 error per 100 bases). David,

Good to hear from you.

what is the resolution of the NGS technology?

Since these are sequencing technologies, the resolution is, well, sequence: A’s, G’s, C’s, and T’s. In other words, you get the nucleotide sequence of the DNA you are investigating. Perhaps you were asking about the accuracy. The error rates for these technologies vary, but is typically less than one percent (1 error per 100 bases).

Sorry if you mention this elsewhere but what is the resolution of the NGS technology? Cheers, David David,
