Whole genome resequencing (WGRS) priovides the most comprehensive information about the genetic variation or mutation through mapping of sequencing reads from the whole genome to the reference genome. Theragen Bio was one of the first companies in the world that completed and published a map of a human genome which in fact was the first map of the genome of a Korean person[1], and participated in study regarding[2] the evolution of ancient ethiopian genomes.

Whole genome de novo sequencing is a technology of predicting the genome size or finding out the entire genomic information of new species without reference genome. Long read sequencing enables more accurate geneome assembly of genomes with areas of high GC contents, long-repeated homopolymers, or palindromic sequences. Differences from other species and unique features can be identified. Theragen Bio succeeded in decoding of the genome of various animals and plants such as minke whale[1], tiger[2], and yeast[3], bellflower[4] and turnip[5].

The exome area accounts for only 1% (30 Mb) of the whole genome, but it is very crucial for biological functions as it contains coding sites that determine protein sequences. Whole exome sequencing is a technology that selectively identifies the exome area and is mainly used in clinical research[1] since it has more cost-effectiveness than whole genome sequencing and can be effectively applied to disease-related genes.

Targeted sequencing is a technique that sequences only the targeted areas of the genome using a customizable capture gene panel. As it obtains high sequencing depth (200-1000x) for the targeted area, mutations or variations can be effectively identified. Theragen Bio has developed tumor mutation burden(TMB) and microsatellite instability(MSI) panels for immunoonology clinical application[1].
