Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Detection of tandem duplication within coding exons, referred to as internal tandem duplication (ITD), remains challenging due to inefficiencies in alignment of ITD-containing reads to the reference genome. There is a critical need to develop efficient methods to recover these important mutational events. RESULTS: In this paper we introduce ITD Assembler, a novel approach that rapidly evaluates all...
