Amplicon-based targeted resequencing is a commonly adopted solution for next-generation sequencing applications focused on specific genomic regions. The reliability of such approaches rests on the high specificity and deep coverage, although sequencing artifacts attributable to PCR-like amplification can be encountered. Between these artifacts, allele drop-out, which is the preferential amplification of one allele, causes an artificial increase in homozygosity when heterozygous mutations fall on a primer pairing region. Here, a procedure to manage such artifacts, based on a pipeline composed of two steps of alignment and variant calling, is proposed. This methodology has been compared to the Illumina Custom Amplicon workflow, available on Illumina MiSeq, on the analysis of data obtained with four newly designed TruSeq Custom Amplicon gene panels.
