  • Patent number: 9944973
    Abstract: Methods for standardized sequencing of nucleic acids and uses thereof are described. The identification of genetic information is becoming a key piece of information for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. In order to make such diagnostic tool readily available, it is desired that this identification be as efficient and as inexpensive as possible.
