- Whole Exome Sequencing > Fact Sheets > Yale MedicineWhole exome sequencing is a type of genetic sequencing increasingly used to understand what may be causing symptoms or a disease. Genetic testing has already been used for a long time in some health areas, such as cancer diagnosis and prenatal screening.
- Exome - WikipediaThe exome of the human genome consists of roughly 180,000 exons constituting about 1% of the total genome, or about 30 megabases of DNA. Though composing a very small fraction of the genome, mutations in the exome are thought to harbor 85% of mutations that have a large effect on disease.
- What is exome sequencing? | Broad InstituteThe human genome consists of 3 billion nucleotides or “letters” of DNA. But only a small percentage — 1.5 percent — of those letters are actually translated into proteins, the functional players in the body. The “exome” consists of all the genome’s exons, which are the coding portions of genes.
- What are whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing? - MedlinePlusTogether, all the exons in a genome are known as the exome, and the method of sequencing them is known as whole exome sequencing. This method allows variations in the protein-coding region of any gene to be identified, rather than in only a select few genes.
