Detection of homozygous deletions in tumor-suppressor genes ranging from dozen to hundreds nucleotides in cancer models.

Abstract excerpt

Tumor-suppressor genes can be inactivated by several mechanisms and, in a majority of cases, both alleles need to be affected. One of the mechanisms of inactivation is due to deletions ranging from dozen to hundreds of nucleotides; such deletions are often missed by variant callers. HomDelDetect is a method to detect such homozygous deletions in cancer models, such as cancer cell lines and potentially patient...
