Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a methodology for analyzing genetic information by reading the entire genome all at once. Through this approach, the entirety of sequence information within the genome, including genetic variations (variants) occurring across the entire genomic span, can be explored. WGS has the capability to address limitations posed by targeted sequencing methods like exome sequencing and technologies such as microarrays, thereby offering a comprehensive view of genetic sequences.
