Population Sequence Data

Caption

In this illustration, population sequence data, sequencing error rates and other information are used to evaluate the prior probability of mutations at a given site in the genome. This information is then weighed against direct genome sequencing, using the serum of mother, father and daughter. The daughter receives a single base from each parent at a given genomic site. Multiple sequencing rounds are used to further compensate for error.
