Low-pass genotyping is a genotyping approach that involves sequencing DNA samples at a lower coverage depth. In this method, instead of sequencing the entire genome at a high coverage depth, a subset of the genome is sequenced at a lower depth, typically between 0.1x and 5x coverage. This reduced coverage is achieved by sequencing a Read more about Low Cost Genotyping[…]
