Sequencing Genome resequencing Ultra-deep sequencing Amplicon sequencing is the ultra-deep sequencing of PCR products (amplicons), usually for the purpose of efficient genetic variant identification and characterisation in specific genomic regions. Amplicon-based sequencing Resequencing Highly targeted resequencing 1.24 Whole genome resequencing (WGR) Amplicon sequencing Whole-genome re-sequencing (WGSR) Amplicon panels Laboratory experiment to identify the differences between a specific genome (of an individual) and a reference genome (developed typically from many thousands of individuals). WGS re-sequencing is used as golden standard to detect variations compared to a given reference genome, including small variants (SNP and InDels) as well as larger genome re-organisations (CNVs, translocations, etc.).
