Range of biased VAF values caused by WGA kits. Boxplot (min. to max. and median values) of the biased VAF values. One variant was considered biased, when its VAF was ± 0.05 of the VAF value of the same variant in its reference samples (non-WGA FFPE DNAs). The data includes the values from the independent triplicates of library preparations from lung cancer #1, the lung cancer #2, and esophageal cancer #1. A two-tailed Mann-Whitney test (comparing ranks) test was used to assess the statistical significance of the difference between different experimental conditions. *Indicates p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. FFPE: formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue, WGA: Whole genome amplification.
