Exercise 28
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is becoming a procedure to help physicians identify the cause of a genetic condition that has defied diagnosis by traditional means. The implication here is that exons in the nuclear genome are sequenced in the hopes that, by comparison with the genomes of nonaffected individuals, a diagnosis might be revealed.
(a) What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach?
(b) If you were ordering WES for a patient, would you also include an analysis of the patient's mitochondrial genome?
