Detection of Somatic Mutations in Exome Sequencing of Tumor-only Samples.

Abstract excerpt

Due to lack of normal samples in clinical diagnosis and to reduce costs, detection of small-scale mutations from tumor-only samples is required but remains relatively unexplored. We developed an algorithm (GATKcan) augmenting GATK with two statistics and machine learning to detect mutations in cancer. The averaged performance of GATKcan in ten experiments outperformed GATK in detecting mutations of randomly...
