| Abstract |
Genetics has been revolutionised by recent technologies. The latest addition to these advances is next-generation sequencing, which is set to transform clinical diagnostics in every branch of medicine. In the research arena this has already been instrumental in identifying hundreds of novel genetic syndromes, making a molecular diagnosis possible for the first time in numerous refractory cases. However, the pace of change has left many clinicians bewildered by new terminology and the implications of next-generation sequencing for their clinical practice. The rapid developments have also left many diagnostic laboratories struggling to implement these new technologies with limited resources. This review explains the basic concepts of next-generation sequencing, gives examples of its role in clinically applied research and examines the challenges of its introduction into clinical practice. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2018.
All research outputs
#3,583,677
of 22,729,647 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Disease in Childhood
#1,611
of 7,305 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,872
of 212,667 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Disease in Childhood
#22
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,729,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,305 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 212,667 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
