New Trends In Whole Exome Sequencing
Whole exome is a genomic technique for sequencing all of
the protein-coding region of genes in a genome. Whole exome sequencing (WES) is
available to patients who are searching for a unifying diagnosis for multiple
medical conditions. Exome sequencing using exome enrichment can efficiently
detect coding variants across a wide range of applications, including
population genetics, genetic disease and cancer studies. The growth of the
global whole exome sequencing market is attributed to the reduction in time and
cost for sequencing, rising need of molecular diagnosis and increasing
application in drug discovery. However, ethical, social and legal concerns for
whole exome sequencing and dearth of highly skilled professionals are the major
factor hindering the market growth.
The exon is part of a genome which is responsible for
making 1 or 2 percent of the entire genome of a person. All of the exon in a
genome are together known as the exome. And thus, sequencing is of these is
known as whole-exome sequencing. The whole-exome sequencing allows identifying
the variations in the protein-coding sites of any gene compared to sequencing a
few genes together. The whole-exome sequencing is preferred widely due to its
property to identify a mutation in a single exon. Identifying mutation in at
the original site makes whole-exome sequencing an efficient method and enable
to identify possible disease-causing mutation.
