Low-pass whole genome sequencing (lp-WGS) allows a wide variety of research applications including highly accurate risk score calculations, ancestry analysis, CNV calling, trait mapping, polygenic risk scoring and high-powered genome-wide association studies. In this webinar, we explore how the combination of BGI’s ultra-efficient lp-WGS service and Gencove’s imputation and analysis platform is enabling access to human whole genome information at the cost of genotyping arrays.

What will you learn in this webinar?
– An overview of low pass whole genome sequencing and recommended coverage levels for different applications
– Considerations and common challenges in lp-WGS research studies
– A case study comparing the relative accuracy for polygenic risk prediction between lp-WGS and array genotyping on 120 DNA samples derived from African and European-ancestry individuals that are part of the 1000 Genomes Project
