Explain why exome sequencing can be almost as valuable as genome sequencing. (Explain in your own words)
High-throughput DNA sequencing technology ...
1.) is far cheaper than Sanger sequencing on a per-basta basis.
2.)can generate millions or billions of base pairs of sequence data for each sample.
3.)often involves shotgun sequencing, in which random fragments of DNA from a sample (rather than a specific, targeted portion of the genome) are sequenced.
4.) All of the above
