WHOLE EXOME SEQUENCING SERVICES

 

Introduction

Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is aimed to sequence all the protein-coding regions or exons in a genome, collectively known as exome. There are approximately 180,000 exons which represent less than 2% of the human genome. As most of the disease-related variants are found in the exons, WES is thought to be an efficient way to understand the genetic cause of diseases or conditions. Exome sequencing provides a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing, as it targets only the protein coding region of the human genome responsible for a majority of known disease-related variants. Molsys Scientific provide a very cost-effective, high quality WES service using variety of enrichment methods as follows:
