Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a groundbreaking genetic test that examines the coding regions of your DNA. These regions, known as exons, contain crucial information about the proteins responsible for various biological functions. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) has also revolutionized genomics research...
With the implementation of next generation sequencing (NGS) tools this limitation can now be circumvented. Main body We analysed 75 patients referred for molecular testing for SRS by a NGS-based multigene panel, whole exome sequencing (WES), and trio-based WES. In 21/75 patients a disease-...
About Whole Exome Sequencing The exome, comprising about 30 million base pairs and representing 22,000 genes, makes up roughly 2% of the genome. It is estimated that approximately 85% of disease-causing variants can be found within these protein-coding regions. WES therefore allows for a ...
The study screened a cohort of patients (n = 167) with primary male infertility in contrast to 210 normally fertile men using whole exome sequencing (WES). The expression analysis of the candidate genes based on public single cell sequencing data was performed using the R language Seurat ...
Whole exome sequencing(WES) is atargeted next generation sequencing(NGS) approach that uses modified oligonucleotide probes to “capture” and enrich the protein coding regions (exons) in a genome. Solely focusing on exons lowers the cost and time of sequencing as exons make up approximately 1% ...
In a series of case studies, Nishihara and his colleagues have already shown PleSSision-Exome’s potential. One middle-aged woman with breast cancer, for example, had no actionable DNA alterations, as gauged by a standard gene panel test. But a mutation found by full exome sequencing reveale...
[1]. Many o these assays are based on single-gene analysis or microarrays, and can cost up to $10,000 per test. The Hospital or Sick Children in Toronto is conducting several research projects to test the utility o whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing (WES). Dr. Christian Marshall ...
Whole-exome sequencing (WES) has been utilized in pediatric and adult clinical practice to identify the underlying genetic cause of disease when prior testing has failed to provide a diagnosis. WES is increasingly considered as a first- tier molecular test with increased diagnostic and clinical ...

Whole-exome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) could enable comprehensive profiling of tumors from blood but the genome-wide concordance between cfDNA and tumor biopsies is uncertain. Here we report ichorCNA, software that quantifies tumor content in cfDNA from 0.1× coverage whole-genome sequenci...
