Whole genome sequencing

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides a high-resolution, base-by-base view of the entire genome, which is essential for understanding genetic variations and their implications in health and disease. Since there’s no need to pre-select genomic regions to examine, WGS is a powerful tool for variant discovery and helps inform your next set of research questions.

Overview

  • Whole genome sequencing (WGS) offers a complete view of the genome, enabling researchers to identify genetic variations that may contribute to disease.
  • WGS is a powerful research tool for understanding the genetic basis of diseases, discovering new therapeutic targets, and advancing personalized medicine.
  • WGS is used in various fields, including oncology research, rare disease research, and population genetics.
  • This comprehensive approach helps in identifying mutations and understanding their functional implications, providing you with the insights needed to drive your research forward.

Frequently asked questions

Whole genome sequencing provides comprehensive coverage over the entire mappable genome to gain information about an organism or metagenomic DNA samples. After sequencing, the individual sequenced fragments of the genome are aligned to a reference genome for variant analysis, assembled into contigs for de novo genome assemblies, or used for microbial classification (in the case of metagenomic samples).
