Scientific name: Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
High-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology reads and determines the complete nucleotide sequence of an individual's DNA, including all coding (exomes) and non-coding (introns, regulatory, and intergenic regions), which constitute approximately 98.5% of the genome. WGS provides unprecedented visibility into genetic variation, includ...
