You could listen to the most recent Naked Genetics podcast (30 minutes):
https://www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/naked-genetics/quadrillions-sequencing-uk-biobank

Or you could start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing

Techniques are advancing rapidly - I've heard it said that the cost of sequencing is halving about every 9 months.
- So only the general principles will be valid in 3 years time.
