Why does my digital genome contain less than 100% of my genome data?
Microarray, exome and VCF data cover only part of the roughly 3 billion positions in the human genome. Adding FASTQ, BAM, CRAM or WGS data raises the percentage.

About Sequencing Team
The Sequencing team is made up of physicians, bioinformaticians, Genetic Health Coaches, and health writers who create and review the content published on Sequencing. The team draws on backgrounds in medical genetics, personalized preventive medicine, and genetic health coaching to make sure every article reflects current science and gives readers something they can act on.
This byline is used for articles written collaboratively across the team, or when content does not have a single named author. Every article carries the same standard of review regardless of byline.
