This set of tracks shows the genomic positions of probes and targets from a full suite of in-solution-capture target enrichment exome kits for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) applications. Also known as exome sequencing or whole exome sequencing (WES), -this technique allows high-throughput parallel sequencing of all exons (e.g. coding region of genes +this technique allows high-throughput parallel sequencing of all exons (e.g., coding regions of genes which affect protein function), constituting about 1% of the human genome, or approximately 30 million base pairs.
The tracks are intended to show the major differences in target genomic regions between the different exome capture kits from the major players in the NGS sequencing market: Illumina Inc., Roche NimbleGen Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc., MGI Tech, Twist Bioscience, and Integrated DNA Technologies Inc..
