Results for tag: "Exome Sequencing"

Exome sequencing is a type of genomics technology used to sequence the protein-coding regions of the genome, known as the exome. It is used to identify genetic variants associated with diseases, and to provide insights into the genetic basis of complex traits. Exome sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing, as it focuses on the most biologically relevant regions of the genome. Exome sequencing is used in a variety of applications, including clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, and research. It is also used to identify rare genetic variants associated with diseases, and to provide insights into the genetic basis of complex traits. Exome sequencing is a rapidly growing market, with a number of companies offering services and products. Examples include Illumina, Thermo Fisher Scientific, BGI, and Genomics plc. Show Less Read more
