Exome sequencing data analysis for diagnosing a genetic disease

Abstract

Exome sequencing is a method that enables the selective sequencing of the

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • How do you identify genetic variants in samples based on exome sequencing data?
  • How do you, among the set of detected variants, identify candidate causative variants for a given phenotype/disease?

Learning Objectives

  • Jointly call variants and genotypes for a family trio from whole-exome sequencing data
  • Use variant annotation and the observed inheritance pattern of a phenotype to identify candidate causative variants and to prioritize them
