Abstract excerpt
There is a great need in biomedical and genetic research to detect DNA damage and de novo mutations, but doing so is inherently challenging because of the rarity of these events. The enormous capacity of current DNA sequencing technologies has opened the door for quantifying sequence variants present at low frequencies in vivo, such as within cancerous tissues. However, these sequencing technologies are error...
