What is Whole Genome Sequencing? | What is WGS?

Whole genome sequencing, also known as WGS, is a laboratory technique in which the entire coding (exon) and non-coding regions of the genome are obtained. It provides a complete, comprehensive map of a person’s genetic makeup and allows extensive analysis of all genes to be performed. It’s a single lab test that obtains all of the data on all of your genes.
