Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chromosomal deletions represent an important class of human genetic variation. Various methods have been developed to mine "next-generation" sequencing (NGS) data to detect deletions and quantify their clonal abundances. These methods have focused almost exclusively on the nuclear genome, ignoring the mitochondrial chromosome (mtDNA). Detecting mtDNA deletions requires special care. First, the...
