mitoSomatic: a tool for accurate identification of mitochondrial DNA somatic mutations without paired controls.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) somatic mutations play important roles in the initiation and progression of cancer. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) of paired tumor and control samples has become a common practice to identify tumor-specific mtDNA mutations, the unique nature of mtDNA and NGS-associated sequencing bias could cause false-positive/-negative somatic mutation calling. Additionally, there are...
