What is the Difference Between the Whole Genome and the Exome?

The complete genomic information within a sample or individual is known as the whole genome. Exons are the genome's protein-coding regions and are collectively known as the exome. Despite the exome's relatively small proportion of the whole genome (approximately 2%), exomes encode most known disease-related variants.
