Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Minor allele detection in very high coverage sequence data (>1000X) has many applications such as detecting mtDNA heteroplasmy, somatic mutations in cancer or tumors, SNP calling in pool sequencing, etc., where reads with low frequency are not necessarily sequence error but may instead convey biological information. However, the suitability of common base quality recalibration tools for such...
