Exons make up approximately 2% of the genome, yet contribute to 85% of known Mendelian diseases. With the needs to improve coverage of the medically relevant regions and gain more confidence in variant calling, the research community continues to raise the bar when evaluating the performance of an exome in medical and translational research.
Join this complimentary webinar as our featured speaker, Dr. Shrikant Mane, discusses the use of the SeqCap EZ MedExome Target Enrichment Kit from Roche and other methods at Yale Center for Genome Analysis (YCGA), as well as:
- Specific metrics used to evaluate performance of MedExome
- The bioinformatics pipeline used to determine the metrics
- Specific case studies and conditions where MedExome has improved utility
