Whole genome sequencing
Whole genome sequencing (WGS; also called genome sequencing or full genome sequencing) is a laboratory procedure for determining an organism’s entire DNA sequence in one procedure.
Status: Decision complete
Why is WGS being reviewed?
WGS was selected for a health technology assessment (HTA) because of high concerns for safety, medium concerns for efficacy, and high concerns for cost.
Primary criteria ranking
- Safety = High
- Efficacy = Medium
- Cost = High
