Abstract

In this chapter, we focus on issues related to the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategies for the analysis of genes with pseudogenes in a clinical setting. Hereby, target enrichment and mapping strategies are crucial factors to avoid "contaminating" pseudogene sequences, which are characterized by higher mutation rates than their functional parental genes. For the target enrichment strategies, we describe advantages and disadvantages of PCR- and capture-based enrichment methodologies. For the mapping strategies, we discuss crucial parameters that need to be considered to accurately distinguish sequences of functional genes from pseudogenic sequences. Finally, we discuss some concrete examples of genes with known pseudogenes and associated with Mendelian disorders that were analyzed by NGS on various platforms and starting from different library preparations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 October 2014.
All research outputs
#18,381,794
of 22,768,097 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,871
of 13,090 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#164,099
of 227,114 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#53
of 145 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,768,097 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,090 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 227,114 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 145 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
