Abstract excerpt
SUMMARY: Germline copy-number variants (CNVs) are relevant mutations for multiple genetics fields, such as the study of hereditary diseases. However, available benchmarks show that all next-generation sequencing (NGS) CNV calling tools produce false positives. We developed CNVfilteR, an R package that uses the single-nucleotide variant calls usually obtained in germline NGS pipelines to identify those false...
