Zusammenfassung:Described herein are methods directed to determining the carrier status or genotype of a subject. Described herein is a method that combines experimental and computational approaches to resolve the structure of genomic loci (i.e., the genotype) whose sequences are highly homologous to other sequences in the genome. In particular, the determination of carrier status and/or copy number of a gene in a subject, wherein the gene has a corresponding highly homologous homolog, e.g., gene or pseudogene, utilizes Next Generation Sequencing. Also described herein is a computer-assisted method for such determinations.
