Abstract

Here we report next-generation based whole genome sequencing of two individuals (H1 and H2) from a family of Pakistani descent. The genomic DNA was used to prepare paired-end libraries for whole-genome sequencing. Deep sequencing yielded 706.49 and 778.12 million mapped reads corresponding to 70.64 and 77.81 Gb sequence data and 23× and 25× average coverage for H1 and H2, respectively. Notably, a total of 448,544 and 470,683 novel variants, not present in the single nucleotide polymorphism database (dbSNP), were identified in H1 and H2, respectively. Comparative analysis identified 2,415,852 variants common in both genomes including 240,181 variants absent in the dbSNP. Principal component analysis linked the ancestry of both genomes with South Asian populations. In conclusion, we report whole genome sequences of two individuals from a family of Pakistani descent.
