Abstract

Exome sequencing represents targeted capture and sequencing of 1-2% of 'high-value genomic regions' (subset of the genome) which are enriched for functional variants and harbors low level of repetitive regions. We discuss here an overview of exome sequencing, ways to approach plant exomes, and advantages and applicability of this powerful approach in deciphering functional regions of genomes. Though initially this approach was developed as an alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS), but the multitude of benefits conferred by sequence capture via hybridization approaches created a niche for itself to solve many of biological riddles, particularly for resolving phylogenetic distances. The technique has also proved to be successful in understanding the basis of natural and induced molecular variation, marker development and developing genomic resources for complex, wild and non-model species, which are still intractable for WGS efforts. Thus, with profound applications of this powerful sequencing strategy, near future is expected to witness a collective expansion of both techniques, i.e., sequence capture via hybridization for evolutionary and ecological research and WGS approaches for its universal accessibility.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 January 2018.
All research outputs
#18,581,651
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#13,991
of 20,529 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#328,676
of 440,405 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#327
of 434 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,529 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,405 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 434 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
