1. Data Collection: Obtaining genetic samples from subjects. 2. Sequencing: Using technologies like NGS to read the genetic code. 3. Preprocessing: Cleaning and organizing raw data for analysis. 4. Alignment: Comparing sequences against reference genomes. 5. Variant Calling: Identifying genetic variations. 6. Annotation: Linking variations to known biological functions. 7. Statistical Analysis: Using statistical methods to find associations between genetic variations and diseases.
