Genomic sequence characteristics and the empiric accuracy of short-read sequencing
2021-04-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Short-read whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a vital tool for clinical applications and basic research. Genetic divergence from the reference genome, repetitive sequences, and sequencing bias, reduce the performance of variant calling using short-read alignment, but the loss in recall and specificity has not been adequately characterized. For the clonal pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)...
