Abstract
DNA sequencing technology was developed because of the advancements in the Human Genome Project (1990?2003). After that, a "next-generation sequencer," which produces thousands or millions of sequences, was introduced. In the field of life sciences and medicine, the development of sequencing technology has changed the target of research from one gene to the complete genome. The aim of this study was to show the features of the next-generation sequencing technology and to examine the necessary environment required for operating it. Moreover, genome research with many challenges was discussed in terms of "big science" which rely on large-scale project usually funded by the national government and are required the cooperation of many various experts.
