Abstract excerpt
Exome sequencing - the targeted sequencing of the subset of the human genome that is protein coding - is a powerful and cost-effective new tool for dissecting the genetic basis of diseases and traits that have proved to be intractable to conventional gene-discovery strategies. Over the past 2 years, experimental and analytical approaches relating to exome sequencing have established a rich framework for...
