1. A method for monitoring residual disease in a subject, the method comprising:
(a) providing a first sample from the subject comprising genomic polynucleotides and sequencing the genomic polynucleotides or amplicons thereof to generate a first set of sequence data, wherein the first sample is obtained from a tumor biopsy from the subject;
(b) determining a frequency of cancer mutations from the first set of sequence data from the first sample;
(c) providing a second sample from the subject comprising cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) molecules and sequencing the cfDNA molecules or amplicons thereof to produce a second set of sequence data, wherein the second sample is obtained from the subject after the subject has undergone a course of treatment for cancer;
(d) determining a frequency of the cancer mutations discovered in the first sample from the second set of sequence data from the second sample; and
(e) determining a presence or absence of cancer in the subject based on an analysis of the frequency of the cancer mutations from the second set of sequence data from the second sample, thereby monitoring for the residual disease in the subject.
