Abstract
The genomic sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) samples has provided exciting new venues for the understanding and treatment of this prevalent disease. This feat is possible thanks to high-throughput sequencing methods, such as Illumina sequencing. The interpretation of these data sources requires not only appropriate software and hardware, but also understanding the biology and technology behind the sequencing process. Here, we provide a primer to understand each step in the analysis of point mutations from whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing experiments of tumor and normal samples.
