Optimal sequencing strategies for identifying disease-associated singletons
Genetic studies of rare variants can help us understand the biology of human disease. With modern techniques and sufficient effort, it is possible to very accurately resolve any human genome, identifying most of its unique features. When funding is limited, applying these techniques to study human disease often involves a trade-off between examining more samples, at reduced accuracy per sample, or fewer samples, each at greater accuracy. We evaluate these trade-offs for studies of very rare variants, using both simulation and real data. We propose cost effective strategies for increasing our understanding of human disease.
