GENEQUALITY Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a whole exome sequencing solution developed by AB ANALITICA and CE-IVD certified under EU Regulation 2017/746 (IVDR). The product complies with international quality and safety standards and is suitable for medical use. WES is now available in Vietnam and promises to become an indispensable tool for molecular diagnostics laboratories.

What Is Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?

In modern medicine, Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is an advanced DNA sequencing technology that focuses on analyzing all of the exons in the genome, known as the protein-coding regions of the genome, and has become an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and research of genetic diseases. WES analyzes the entire exon region of the human genome, which accounts for only about 1% of the total genome yet contains more than 85% of disease-causing mutations¹. This enables accurate and efficient genetic diagnosis, opening up opportunities for precision medicine and personalized healthcare.

Key Features of GENEQUALITY Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)

Accurate and Efficient DNA Library Preparation

High-quality DNA library preparation reagents are used, requiring 10 to 500 ng of input DNA per sample and optimizing processing time and cost. The procedure uses enzymatic DNA fragmentation, ensuring high sensitivity and accuracy in capturing target sequences.

Broad and Optimized Sequencing Coverage

The sequencing panel covers approximately 42 Mb of the genome, with 19,441 genes, including mitochondrial DNA. This allows researchers and clinicians to comprehensively explore whole genome sequencing and whole exome sequencing for rare genetic diseases.

Detection of Diverse Genetic Variant Types

It can detect many types of genetic variants such as SNV, InDel, CNV, and other mutations, with an analytical sensitivity of 95.81% and a specificity of up to 99.99%, ensuring that every important variant is accurately detected and reported.

Superior Sequencing Performance

Validated on next-generation sequencing platforms such as Illumina NovaSeq6000, NextSeq500/550, it achieves an average coverage depth of ~100X and uniformity above 97.84% for genomic DNA and 99.98% for mitochondrial DNA, ensuring high quality in every sequencing run.

Integration of Data from Major Databases

Integrating the decoded data with major databases such as ClinVar, OMIM, and HGMD provides accurate information on disease-associated genetic variants, supporting accurate in vitro diagnosis on a solid scientific basis.

Workflow with GENEQUALITY Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)

Step 1: DNA Sample Preparation

The input sample source is whole blood for DNA extraction, ensuring high-quality DNA in amounts of 10 to 500 ng, optimized for sequencing procedures.

Step 2: DNA Library Preparation

Using the GENEQUALITY library preparation kit for the Illumina platform, this step includes DNA fragmentation and sequencing library preparation according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity.

Step 3: Sequencing and Result Analysis

The DNA library is sequenced on systems such as the Illumina NovaSeq, after which the data are analyzed by experts, providing valuable information on genetic variants and supporting accurate genetic diagnosis and the advancement of precision medicine.

The GENEQUALITY® WES workflow consists of two main parts: pre-amplification and post-amplification of the sequencing library
