Advantages of using high-throughput sequencing for mutation discovery
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Direct measurement (as opposed to indirect phenotypic change) | Difficulty in assaying low- abundance mutations |
| Analysis of whole genomes | Sequencing error rates |
| Analysis of transcription-coupled repair | |
| Analysis of mutation localization | |
| More accurate data on mutational spectra |
