Answer

High-throughput sequencing refers to the general methods of DNA analysis that utilizes miniaturization techniques along with the principles of DNA replication and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These methods were gradually developed to replace the more expensive and less efficient DNA sequencing methods that were invented in the late 1900s. A particular method of high-throughput sequencing involves the amplification of DNA fragments and the manufacturing of complementary strands with labeled nucleotides.
