Sequencing Errors Rife in Genome Databases.

Abstract excerpt

Low-frequency genetic variants in cancer genome datasets are often simply artifacts of DNA damage introduced by routine sample preparation, not tumor-driving mutations. A new algorithm found that around three quarters of all the samples in The Cancer Genome Atlas contain large numbers of these sequencing errors.
