Abstract excerpt
Studying the role of rare alleles in common disease has been prevented by the impractical task of determining the DNA sequence of large numbers of individuals. Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies are being developed that will make it possible for genetic studies of common disease to study the full frequency spectrum of genetic variation, including rare alleles. This report describes a method for scanning...
