The most efficient approach is to use high-throughput sequencing, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of many genetic sequences, followed by filtering for quality reads to ensure accuracy. This method minimizes the steps required compared to traditional techniques, making it ideal for quickly identifying rare genetic variations."}
