A targeted panel sequences only a chosen set of a few hundred cancer genes, deeply and cheaply, which is what most hospitals run on tumours today.
Exome sequencing works by selecting a subset of DNA before sequencing (Wikipedia); a targeted panel narrows the selection further to hundreds of clinically relevant genes, read at high depth from small samples. Panels such as MSK-IMPACT and FoundationOne underlie AACR Project GENIE, the largest clinico-genomic dataset, but panel coverage differs between institutions, so pooling requires restricting to shared genes and treating unsequenced genes as missing rather than wild type.
