Popis: With the advent of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technologies, it is now possible to sequence an entire human genome for about the price it would cost to sequence four or five genes at comparable accuracy using Sanger sequencing methods. In this chapter, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of developing a MPS protocol for whole genome sequencing within a clinical laboratory as well as its potential applications for clinical use.
