Abstract excerpt
Although next-generation sequencing is widely used in cancer to profile tumors and detect variants, most somatic variant callers used in these pipelines identify variants at the lowest possible granularity, single-nucleotide variants (SNV). As a result, multiple adjacent SNVs are called individually instead of as a multi-nucleotide variants (MNV). With this approach, the amino acid change from the individual SNV...
