Image: Exome sequencing workflow: Double-stranded genomic DNA is fragmented by sonication. Linkers are then attached to the DNA fragments, which are then hybridized to a capture microarray designed to target only the exons (Photo courtesy of Sarah Kusala).

Exome Sequencing Covers Specific Gene Sets Ineffectually

Clinical diagnosis can be made using exome sequencing, but may be regularly missed as there appears to be a high false-negative rate using existing sequencing kits.   More...
