Abstract excerpt
Copy number variable (CNV) genes are important in evolution and disease, yet their sequence variation remains a blind spot in large-scale studies. We present ctyper, a method that leverages pangenomes to produce allele-specific copy numbers with locally phased variants from next-generation sequencing samples. Benchmarking on 3,351 CNV genes and 212 challenging medically relevant (CMR) genes, ctyper captures 96.5%...
