Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 'Next-generation' (NGS) sequencing has wide application in medical genetics, including the detection of somatic variation in cancer. The Ion Torrent-based (IONT) platform is among NGS technologies employed in clinical, research and diagnostic settings. However, identifying mutations from IONT deep sequencing with high confidence has remained a challenge. We compared various computational...
