Whole genome sequencing provides comprehensive coverage over the entire mappable genome to gain information about an organism or metagenomic DNA samples. After sequencing, the individual sequenced fragments of the genome are aligned to a reference genome for variant analysis, assembled into contigs for de novo genome assemblies, or used for microbial classification (in the case of metagenomic samples).
