HighlightsNGS based detection of low-level SNVs is feasible with sensitivities up to 10−4.PCR-induced bias could be significantly reduced by the choice of adequate enzymes.The prevalent transition vs. transversion bias affects site-specific detection limits.Results from clinical data validated the feasibility of NGS-based MRD detection.Results help to select suitable biomarkers for MRD quantification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
