Whole Genome Sequencing

Whole genome sequencing allows researchers to investigate through the entire genome sequence and discover also variants that lie outside the coding regions.
Although most of the known disease-causing variants are located in the coding regions and can be detected by exome sequencing, with whole genome sequencing you can investigate also regulatory regions like promoters, enhancers and silencers where alterations can affect gene activity and protein production.
Whole genome sequencing can also be useful to characterize complex structural variations of the genome.
