Whole genome analysis of four Bangladeshi individuals

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a comprehensive method for analysing entire genomes and this has been instrumental in characterizing the single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with different diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and many others. In this paper we undertake a pilot study for sequencing four Bangladeshi individuals and profiling their single nucleotide variants. Our findings shed possible light on specific biological pathways effected by such variants in this population.
