The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has brought about a paradigm shift in genomics research, offering unparalleled capabilities for analyzing DNA and RNA molecules in a high-throughput and cost-effective manner. This transformative technology has swiftly propelled genomics advancements across diverse domains. NGS allows for the rapid sequencing of millions of DNA fragments simultaneously, providing comprehensive insights into genome structure, genetic variations, gene expression profiles, and epigenetic modifications. The versatility of NGS platforms has expanded the scope of genomics research, facilitating studies on rare genetic diseases, cancer genomics, microbiome analysis, infectious diseases, and population genetics. Moreover, NGS has enabled the development of targeted therapies, precision medicine approaches, and improved diagnostic methods. This review provides an insightful overview of the current trends and recent advancements in NGS technology, highlighting its potential impact on diverse areas of genomic research. Moreover, the review delves into the challenges encountered and future directions of NGS technology, including endeavors to enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of sequencing data, the development of novel algorithms for data analysis, and the pursuit of more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective solutions that lie ahead.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was found first in Wuhan and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Coinfection with other respiratory viruses may occur, complicating the diagnosis and treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 . Herein, we identified a Karolinska Institute polyomavirus Stockholm 60 present in a nasopharyngeal swab of a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection using next-generation sequencing with an enrichment method.

EGFR status assessment is mandatory for adjuvant decision-making of resected stage IB-IIIA non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC). It is questionable whether single-gene RT-PCR versus next-generation sequencing (NGS) should be used for this evaluation. Moreover, co-occurring mutations have an impact on tumor behavior and may influence future therapeutic decision-making.

Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is the standard therapy for patients harboring T790M after first-generation EGFR-TKI resistance. However, the impact of acquired EGFR amplification on the efficacy of third-generation EGFR-TKI against T790M remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate whether the presence of acquired EGFR amplification after first-generation EGFR-TKI resistance influences the efficacy of third-generation EGFR-TKI in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Genetic tests available in the prenatal setting have expanded rapidly with next generation sequencing, and fetal imaging can detect a breadth of many structural and functional abnormalities. To identify a fetal genetic disease, deep phenotyping is increasingly important to generate a differential diagnosis, choose the most appropriate genetic tests, and inform the results of those tests. The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) organizes and defines the features of human disease to support deep phenotyping, and ongoing efforts are being made to improve the scope of the HPO to comprehensively include fetal phenotypes.
