What does ngs mean?

ngs is a high-throughput sequencing technology.

High-throughput sequencing (High-throughput sequencing) technology, also known as "Next-generation" sequencing technology, or "Ngs" for short, is based on the ability to sequence hundreds of thousands to millions of sequences in parallel at a time. High-throughputsequencing, also known as "Next-generation" sequencingtechnology, or "Ngs" for short, is characterized by the ability to sequence hundreds of thousands to millions of DNA molecules at a time in parallel, and generally shorter read lengths.

High-throughput sequencing technology involves randomly fragmenting DNA (or cDNA), splicing it, preparing a sequencing library, and then performing extension reactions on tens of thousands of clones (colony) in the library to detect the corresponding signals and ultimately obtain sequence information.
