Exome sequencing
• Affordable approach to interrogate protein
coding portion of the genome and identify
disease-causing variants
• Mendelian disorders
– Prenatal diagnosis, preimplementation
genetic diagnosis, carrier/mutation detection
of heterogeneous disorders (e.g., hearing
loss), prognosis of preclinical individuals
• Personalized cancer therapy
– Diagnosis and prognosis, treatment,
discovery of new cancer-related genes,
address tumor heterogeneity and evolution

Comparative study design
13
1. An independent large genome center
compared 4 exome capture panels
2. 12 libraries were made with KAPA
Hyper Prep kit
3. Libraries were split into each capture
4. Captures were completed by each
vendor’s protocol
5. Captures were sequenced on a lane of
the HiSeq® 2500 instrument in high
output mode and subsampled to 17M
PE reads or 5.1 Gb of sequencing
Probe design overlap with exon databases

Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC)
• APOE is typically poorly represented in exome capture

28
xGen Exome Research Panel: Better resemblance
to WGS data
29
xGen Exome Research Panel
• Exhibits superior uniformity
• Yields the most complete coverage of RefSeq database
• The only commercial exome panel without reduced first exon
coverage
• Achieves ≥20X coverage of >94% of bases in RefSeq database with
only 40M reads, ~2.5 – 4X fewer than any other exome panel tested
• Coverage profile resembles whole genome data
