Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and whole genome sequencing was used to determine phenotype-causing mutations by sequencing the entire genome to identify variations associated with traits. SNP sequencing focuses on common variations while whole genome sequencing finds all variations. Whole genome sequencing can also be used for personalized medicine by identifying disease-causing mutations and predispositions to certain conditions.

used to determine phenotype-causing mutations, which is focused on the principles you
have learned in this course. Also briefly describe other applications of whole genome
sequencing in one short paragraph.
