Next-generation sequencing has changed the study of genetics. NGS
technology is predicted to be significant in veterinary care and animal husbandry. With
the development of modern techniques, genomes can now be sequenced considerably
more quickly and accurately. In the current review, we detail the many sequencing
techniques that are accessible and also go over a few biological topics where using
next-generation sequencing might lead to whole new directions in veterinary research.
Large volumes of genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data may now be analysed
by researchers thanks to the advent of high throughput molecular technologies and
accompanying bioinformatics. The volume of DNA sequence information that can be
generated using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is a glaring illustration
of this stage. The identification and quantification of proteins in a given sample have
also been made easier by recent advancements in high-precision mass spectrometry and
protein and peptide separation efficiency. The way biological and evolutionary
processes are investigated at the molecular level is beginning to change due to these
technological advancements, which are also being utilised to research infectious
illnesses in animals. To better understand how next-generation sequencing functions
and how it might be applied to veterinary medicine for the sake of disease management
and control, this chapter focuses on presenting existing and projected insights.
