What is Whole Genome Sequencing?
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is the most comprehensive genetic analysis method that maps all genetic information in an organism’s DNA. This technology allows individuals to understand their genetic heritage, identify disease risks, and develop personalized health solutions.
Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, WGS provides highly accurate data and is considered a revolutionary tool in genetic research.
While standard genetic tests analyze only specific gene regions, WGS examines your entire DNA sequence, creating a unique genetic profile.
WGS is not only crucial for clinical applications but also serves as a valuable resource for research and personal genetic analysis. Used in medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, and forensic sciences, this method provides groundbreaking solutions for both individuals and researchers. Whether it’s creating personalized treatment plans for healthcare professionals, enhancing efficiency in agriculture and livestock, or understanding evolutionary biology, WGS is an indispensable tool.
Our Whole Genome Sequencing service is conducted with the latest technology in our reliable laboratories. From sample collection to result reporting, we maintain the highest quality standards.
