Abstract

Significant advances in DNA sequencing now permit the sequencing of an individual's whole genome for ∼$1,000. This will soon result in a paradigm shift in how we approach the diagnosis and treatment of rare and common diseases.1 The question we should carefully consider is whether whole genome sequencing (WGS) is ready for routine use in clinical practice. While one WGS sample can generate gigabytes of data, whether these data can generate meaningful information is significantly more complex. Analysis of the raw data requires specialized bioinformatics expertise and complicated software. Poor initial analysis of the raw …
