title: Whole Exome Sequencing data of South Indian knee osteoarthritis patients and controls
design: DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using the Aura Pure Blood/Serum DNA Isolation Kit. Libraries were prepared using Twist Exome 2.0 capture kit and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to generate paired-end 150 bp reads. An average coverage of 100 was achieved. Data were analyzed using the GeneAssure pipeline (integrating FastQC, Fastp, BWA-MEM, GATK, DeepVariant, and SnpEff).
