LONDON, Dec. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Key Findings
The global DNA sequencing market is poised to grow during the forecast period of 2017-2023. Various reasons for growth of the DNA sequencing market are increase in demand for noninvasive detection, disease diagnosis and personalized treatment, decreasing costs of DNA sequencing and higher research and spending by biotechnology companies.
DNA sequencing is the method of identifying the precise sequence of nucleotides present in the DNA. DNA sequencing can be carried by various technologies, which are basically biochemical methods. The nucleotides in the DNA molecule are adenosine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. A person's DNA sequence contains information about personality traits, genetically determined illness and IQ level. This data can give the individual and physicians a very clear picture about the person's genetic information and help in providing personalized treatment, which will be most effective. This method will have a beneficial impact on other sciences like genetics, anthropology, forensic science, archeology, biotechnology and molecular biology.
DNA sequencing market is segmented on the basis of geography, technology, application and end user. Various technologies for DNA sequencing are Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS); ION Semiconductor Sequencing; Sequencing by Ligation (SBL), Pyrosequencing, Single-Molecule Real-time Sequencing (SMRT) and other technologies. Classification on the basis of application is drug discovery, diagnosis, biomarker discovery, personalized medicine, agriculture and medical research and others. End user segments are research centers and academic & government institutes; hospitals & clinics; pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies; and, some others like NPO, agri genomics organizations, consumer genomic companies.
