Whole Genome Sequencing

Published 29/05/2017

Whole Genome Sequencing

We have extended our testing options to whole genome sequencing (WGS). WGS is the most comprehensive tool for identifying the full range of genetic variations. Including the non-coding regions of the genome in the analysis can considerably improve the diagnosing of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous diseases.

Our high quality data and thorough interpretation of analysis results contribute substantially to diagnosing complex diseases or diseases with atypical phenotype.
