Single-molecule, quantitative detection of low-abundance somatic mutations by high-throughput sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Postzygotic somatic mutations have been found associated with human disease, including diseases other than cancer. Most information on somatic mutations has come from studying clonally amplified mutant cells, based on a growth advantage or genetic drift. However, almost all somatic mutations are unique for each cell, and the quantitative analysis of these low-abundance mutations in normal tissues remains a major...
