Since there is no abstract available we provide the first paragraph.

The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) with the powerful unprecedented ability for the whole genome scan or exome sequencing ?sequence of all the coding regions of our genome- allows the unbiased identification of mutations involved in various cancer types [1-5]. Traditional genotyping of individual genes has also been widely evaluated and may provide useful information for the clinic. A recent example of gastric cancer genotyping has been recently published [6]. Here it is evaluated the potential utility and challenges of traditional genotyping. Best Replica Watches
