ding frames and thus coding regions are targeted in sequencing. WGS attempts to sequence the whole genome, while for WXS only exons with open reading frames are targeted for sequencing. Both of these methods can be massively beneficial for studying rare and complex diseases.</p>
<p>Thus, whole genome sequencing is a technique to thoroughly analyze the entire DNA sequence of an organism’s genome. This includes sequencing all genes both coding and non-coding and all mitochondrial DNA. WGS is beneficial for
