Whole Genome Sequencing

The Complete Blueprint of Your DNA. Every Base Pair. Every Gene.

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is the most comprehensive genetic test available — analyzing 98% of the entire human genome including all protein-coding genes, non-coding regions, regulatory sequences, and structural variants. While WES covers only 1–2% of the genome, WGS captures everything, making it the gold standard for diagnosing complex rare diseases, ending diagnostic odysseys, guiding precision medicine, and uncovering genetic predispositions across all known conditions. This is the test for when every other test has failed to provide answers.

Frequently asked questions
Who should consider Whole Genome Sequencing?
WGS is the test of choice when WES or panel tests have been non-diagnostic and a genetic cause is still strongly suspected. It is especially valuable for patients with complex rare diseases, undiagnosed conditions with a genetic basis, conditions possibly caused by non-coding variants, and cases needing the most comprehensive genomic analysis available. It is also used for precision medicine in cancer, complex chronic diseases, and research-grade genomic profiling.
What does WGS detect that WES misses?
WGS detects variants in non-coding regions including regulatory sequences, promoters, enhancers, and intronic regions — areas that WES completely misses. It also provides superior detection of structural variants (large rearrangements, inversions, translocations), improved copy number variant detection, mitochondrial genome analysis, and more uniform coverage across all genomic regions including GC-rich areas that WES often fails to capture adequately.
Why does WGS take 56 days (8 weeks) compared to WES?
WGS generates vastly more data than WES — sequencing the entire 3-billion base pair genome versus only the 1–2% exome. This requires significantly more sequencing time, larger data storage, and more complex bioinformatics analysis to process and interpret the 4+ million variants identified. The additional 56 days (8 weeks) ensures thorough, accurate analysis of the entire genome.
What are the incidental findings from WGS?
Because WGS analyzes the complete genome, it may reveal clinically significant findings unrelated to your original reason for testing — such as hereditary cancer risk, cardiac conditions, or other actionable genetic variants. Per ACMG guidelines, we report actionable secondary findings. You will be informed and counseled about this possibility before testing, and can discuss your preferences with our Genomic Expert.
Is my data safe and private?
Yes. All WGS data is protected under ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR standards. Your complete genome sequence is never shared with insurance companies, employers, pharmaceutical companies, or any third party. You retain full ownership and control of your genomic information at all times.
