Abstract excerpt
Low-coverage sequencing refers to sequencing DNA of individuals to a low depth of coverage (e.g., 0.5X) and imputing that sequence to a genomic sequence based on reference haplotypes from individuals sequenced to a high depth of coverage (e.g., ≥10X). It has been proposed as an alternative to genotyping by Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) arrays. At least one commercial product based on it is available for...
