Biesecker and Green developed a primer for clinicians on how to approach clinical genome and exome sequencing (CGES). The comprehensive summary provides a technical overview and discussion of limitations of CGES, summarizes indications for ordering and evaluation, interpretation and communication of results, and how to address incidental findings. Additionally there is an interactive graphic overviewing the technology and providing guidance to providers in clinical context.
