Performance of high-throughput sequencing for the discovery of genetic variation across the complete size spectrum.

Abstract excerpt

We observed that current high-throughput sequencing approaches only detected a fraction of the full size-spectrum of insertions, deletions, and copy number variants compared with a previously published, Sanger-sequenced human genome. The sensitivity for detection was the lowest in the 100- to 10,000-bp size range, and at DNA repeats, with copy number gains harder to delineate than losses. We discuss strategies...
