Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Gene-damaging mutations are highly informative for studies seeking to discover genes underlying developmental disorders. Traditionally, these de novo variants are recognized by evaluating high-quality DNA sequence from affected offspring and parents. However, when parental sequence is unavailable, methods are required to infer de novo status and use this inference for association studies. RESULTS: We...
