Whole exome sequencing
Whole exome sequencing (WES) is one of the most popular next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods used today for the detection of genetic variants. WES uses targeted technology to capture approximately 1% of the entire human genome (the human exome). What is whole exome sequencing? Whole exome sequencing is a [...]
What is the human genome?
The human genome is our genetic information taken as a whole. It comprises the 3.2 billion "little letters" that make up our DNA, from the 22,000 genes we have in our body to the mitochondrial DNA, passing through the regulatory regions of the expression of these genes to proteins, the effector biomolecules of our organism. The DNA [...]
