The advent of genome sequencing has changed our fundamental understanding of the underlying basis of disease. It has opened up new avenues for diagnosing disorders, provided new targets and pathways for both drug and diagnostic development efforts, and has allowed us to treat individual patients with medicines that are more effective or less deleterious. However, sequence data can have a high false positive rate and interpretation of the information remains one of the greatest challenges. This discussion paper, one of seven individually authored commentaries that explores the evidence needed to support the use of genome sequencing in the clinic, examines the challenges involved in and opportunities for demonstrating the analytic validity of a next generation sequencing-based test.
