Epi25 WES Browser

The Epi25 whole-exome sequencing (WES) case-control study is one of the collaborative's ongoing endeavors that aims to characterize the contribution of rare genetic variation to a spectrum of epilepsy syndromes to identify individual risk genes. The browser displays the latest findings from the study—as part of the consortium’s deep dedication to data and resource sharing—with the hope of engaging the scientific community to generate hypotheses and facilitate discoveries.
