Whole-genome sequencing is a process that involves determining the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. This includes all of its genes, as well as non-coding regions of DNA. By sequencing an organism's entire genome, researchers can study the genetic variations that exist within a population, identify disease-causing mutations, and understand the genetic basis of traits and characteristics. Whole-genome sequencing has revolutionized the field of genomics and has led to numerous advancements in medicine, agriculture, and evolutionary biology.
