Excerno: Using Mutational Signatures in Sequencing Data to Filter False Variants Caused by Clinical Archival.

Abstract excerpt

The accurate detection of point mutations from pathology slides using sequencing data is of great importance in cancer genomics and precision oncology. Formalin-fixation paraffin-embedding (FFPE) is a widely used technique to preserve pathology tissues. The FFPE process introduces artificial C > T mutations in next-generation sequencing, so we set out to develop excerno, a method to score and filter such spurious...
