The primary goal of genome sequencing is to accurately determine the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. This is essential for identifying genetic variations, understanding gene function, and discovering genetic predispositions to diseases. Genome sequencing serves a wide range of fields, from personalized medicine (where it helps tailor treatments to individual genetic profiles) to genetic research and evolutionary studies.

Fiber lasers play an essential role here, as their precision and stability are ideal for exciting fluorescent dyes attached to DNA fragments. This fluorescence helps identify individual nucleotides in real time, as specific laser wavelengths cause the dyes to emit light that can be detected and recorded. The precision, stability, and wavelength versatility of fiber lasers make them an ideal choice for genome sequencing, enhancing the accuracy, speed, and scale at which genetic data can be analyzed.
