"Targeted sequencing" refers to a specific method in genetics where scientists focus on analyzing specific regions or genes of interest in an individual's DNA instead of examining the entire genome. Full definition
Essentially, the process uses genetic techniques to target sequences of DNA inside the mutant gene. (health.com)
Yet I can also tell you that they're inherently noisy — particularly for targeted sequencing data — and I would not be confident in using them to guide clinical care. (massgenomics.org)
