Introduction to Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
Overview
Since the completion of Human Genome Project in 2003, a new genomic era of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has begun to revolutionize medical care. One such technology, whole exome sequencing (WES) has proven success in identifying the etiology for previously unknown genetic diseases.
In this lecture we will simplify the complicated terms and provide you with the most needed information in a very summarized manner.
