Variant prioritization software tools | Whole-exome sequencing

High-throughput sequencing software tools > Whole-exome sequencing software tools

Whole-exome sequencing has become a fundamental tool for the discovery of disease-related genes of familial diseases and the identification of somatic driver variants in cancer. However, finding the causal mutation among the enormous background of individual variability in a small number of samples is still a big challenge. Source text: Aleman et al., 2014.
