Abstract
Advances in next-generation technologies have rapidly improved sequencing fidelity and significantly decreased sequencing error rates. However, with billions of nucleotides in a human genome, even low experimental error rates yield many errors in variant calls. Erroneous variants can mimic true somatic and rare variants, thus requiring costly confirmatory experiments to minimize the number of false positives. Here we discuss sources of experimental error in next-generation sequencing and how replicates can be used to abate them.
