Abstract excerpt
Massive parallel sequencing technologies are promising a highly sensitive detection of low-level mutations, especially in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) studies. However, processes from DNA extraction and library construction to bioinformatic analysis include several varying tasks. Further, there is no validated recommendation for the comprehensive procedure. In this study, we examined potential pitfalls on the...
