Abstract

Solid tumors are under-sampled in the clinic, such that only 0.0005% of initial tumor volume is used as input for diagnostic testing. Litchfield et al. apply the principles of representative sampling to implement an unbiased tumor sampling approach that improves the reproducibility and accuracy of next-generation sequencing.
