Specifically, the DNA sequence constitutes the genetic information that can be inherited and that is the basis of the development programs of living beings. The fact of being able to determine it is useful for certain applications such as forensic investigation or the study of the main biological processes.
For its part, RNA sequencing is easier to carry out than DNA sequencing , for technical reasons. At present, several sequencing methods are distinguished: in vitro clonal amplification, illumina (Solexa), Ion Torrent semiconductor, high-throughput or "next-generation" sequencing, ligation sequencing, or parallel sequencing.
