Annual Meeting of the International Genetic Epidemiology Society
Abstract:Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a key technology in understanding the causes and consequences of human genetic variability. In this context, the validity of NGSinferred single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) is of paramount importance. We therefore developed a statistical framework to assess the fidelity of three common NGS platforms and to estimate the proportion of false-positives heterozygotes based on read distributions. Application of this framework to aligned DNA sequence data from two completely sequence… Show more
