Whole genome sequencing (WGS), also known as full genome sequencing, complete genome sequencing, or entire genome sequencing, is the process of determining the entirety, or nearly the entirety, of the DNA sequence of an organism's genome at a single time. This entails sequencing all of an organism's chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in the mitochondria and, for plants, in the chloroplast.

Whole genome sequencing - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sequencing all the DNA of an individual at once "Genome sequencing" redirects here. For the sequencing only of DNA, see DNA sequencing . Electropherograms are commonly used to sequence portions of genomes. [ 1 ] DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the cell’s genetic material, contained in chromosomes within the cell nucleus and mitochondria. Except for certain cells (for example, sperm and egg cells), the cell nucleus contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. A chromosome contains many genes. A gene is a segme
