Whole Genome Amplification and Reduced-Representation Genome Sequencing of Schistosoma japonicum Miracidia
BACKGROUND In areas where schistosomiasis control programs have been implemented, morbidity and prevalence have been greatly reduced. However, to sustain these reductions and move towards interruption of transmission, new tools for disease surveillance are needed. Genomic methods have the potential to help trace the sources of new infections, and allow us to monitor drug resistance. Large-scale...
متن کاملComparing whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing
Introduction Next-generation DNA sequencing empowers scientists to identify genetic variations associated with human disease at higher resolution and greater sensitivity than previously possible. Two approaches are commonly employed -exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing. Exome sequencing targets protein-coding regions comprising approximately 1% of the human genome, while whole genome s...
متن کاملWhole exome and whole genome sequencing.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to describe the new DNA sequencing technologies referred to as next-generation sequencing (NGS). These new methods are becoming central to research in human disease and are starting to be used in routine clinical care. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in instrumentation have dramatically reduced the cost of DNA sequencing. An individual's entire genome ...
متن کاملWhole-exome/genome sequencing and genomics.
As medical genetics has progressed from a descriptive entity to one focused on the functional relationship between genes and clinical disorders, emphasis has been placed on genomics. Genomics, a subelement of genetics, is the study of the genome, the sum total of all the genes of an organism. The human genome, which is contained in the 23 pairs of nuclear chromosomes and in the mitochondrial DN...
متن کاملWhole-genome sequencing is more powerful than whole-exome sequencing for detecting exome variants.
We compared whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in six unrelated individuals. In the regions targeted by WES capture (81.5% of the consensus coding genome), the mean numbers of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions/deletions (indels) detected per sample were 84,192 and 13,325, respectively, for WES, and 84,968 and 12,702, respectively, for WGS. For bo...
