Whole Exome Sequencing

Whole Exome Sequencing

Whole exome sequencing (WES) is a widely used genomic technique targeting protein-coding regions of the genome, presenting as a cost-efficient alternative to WGS that allows increased coverage of regions of interest.

Mirxes Genomics offers the options to focus on coding sequences with guaranteed >99% coverage, or to customize panels for comprehensive capture of coding sequences for discovery. Additional spike-ins are available, for example of genes relevant to various diseases and cancers, as well as 100% of the mitochondrial genome. Variant calling based on best practices is available with every WES service.
