What are the Types of Gene Sequencing Used in Cancer?
Several types of gene sequencing are used in cancer research and treatment, including:
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS): Provides a comprehensive view of the entire genome, identifying all genetic alterations. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES): Focuses on sequencing the exonic regions of the genome, which are the coding regions of genes. Targeted Gene Sequencing: Involves sequencing specific genes known to be associated with specific types of cancer.
