Abstract Exome sequencing is a next generation sequencing (NGS) technology where only the coding regions of the genome (known as exome) are sequenced. The technology involves two major steps: capturing the exonic region of DNA that encodes proteins, constituting about 1% of the human genome (≈30 Mbps) and then sequencing these regions using high throughput massively parallel DNA sequencing technology. The idea is to identify the genetic variants that alter protein sequences at a much lower cost than whole genome sequencing (WGS). | |||
