In the first video clip, Dr. Allen Van Deynze, University of California, Davis, provides an overview of Sanger sequencing, next generation/second generation sequencing, and third generation sequencing technologies. In addition, the sequencing technologies are compared based on the amount of sequence generated, the cost, and the sequence read length.
