Introduction

Exom sequencing is also known as whole exom sequencing (WES). This sequencing technique is used to sequence all the expressed genes in a genome also called as exom. It is one of the most widely used targeted sequencing methods. The exom which is the protein coding region of the human genome consists of less than 2% of the genetic code. This region is responsible for containing more than 85% of known disease-related variants. Thus, whole exom sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS). This technique is efficient in identifying coding variants across a wide range of ...
