Overcoming the Current Limitations of Next-Generation Sequencing with New Methods for Local Assembly of Genomes and High-Specificity Rare Mutation Detection

The relatively low cost of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has enabled researchers to generate large amounts of sequencing data in order to identify disease-causing mutations and to assemble simple genomes. However, NGS has inherent limitations due to the short DNA read lengths and high error rate...
