What is another word for exome?
Pronunciation: [ɛɡzˈə͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Exome refers to the part of the genome that contains genes that are translated into functional proteins. Synonyms for exome include protein-coding genome, coding region, and expressed sequence. The exome is a small fraction of the total genome, comprising only about 1-2% of the entire genome in humans. Therefore, it has become increasingly popular for researchers to focus on exome sequencing, which can help in identifying genetic variations and mutations that may cause diseases. Additionally, exome sequencing can assist in improving the effectiveness of personalized medicine, as it may lead to more targeted treatment options based on an individual's genetic makeup.
