Quantitative group testing-based overlapping pool sequencing to identify rare variant carriers.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have revealed that rare variants are responsible for a large portion of the heritability of some complex human diseases. This highlights the increasing importance of detecting and screening for rare variants. Although the massively parallel sequencing technologies have greatly reduced the cost of DNA sequencing, the identification of rare variant carriers by large-scale...
