Whole Genome Sequencing
WGS opens a myriad of opportunities for study such as marker discovery for phenotypic traits, gene discovery, and comparative genomics.

RNA Sequencing
Involves extraction of RNA from the organism by poly-A capture, converting to cDNA libraries, and then sequencing the library.

Metagenomic Sequencing
Lets you characterize microbes through analysis of DNA extracted from an environmental sample, then enriching and sequencing genomic markers such as the 16s ribosomal RNA gene.
