Application of multi-objective optimization to pooled experiments of next generation sequencing for detection of rare mutations.

In this paper we propose some mathematical models to plan a Next Generation Sequencing experiment to detect rare mutations in pools of patients. A mathematical optimization problem is formulated for optimal pooling, with respect to minimization of the experiment cost. Then, two different strategies...
