Value of Whole Genome Sequencing in Genetic Testing

Whole genome sequencing is viewed as unnecessary by the speaker unless there are specific unusual problems. The speaker states that genotyping can provide almost all important variants more affordably and effectively. They criticize the quality of many whole genome sequencing companies, mentioning issues with technology, particularly regarding the use of cheaper Chinese machines resulting in lower quality results. Despite having both whole genome sequencing and genotyping personally, the speaker has not found a use for the former.
