While traditional DNA sequencing is common, innovations like pyrosequencing offer faster and more cost-effective alternatives. Pyrosequencing works by fragmenting DNA, replicating it on beads, and using light emissions to identify sequences, achieving the capability to process 20 million base pairs in six hours.
