Sensitive and specific post-call filtering of genetic variants in xenograft and primary tumors
2017-09-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Motivation</h4> Tumor genome sequencing offers great promise for guiding research and therapy, but spurious variant calls can arise from multiple sources. Mouse contamination can generate many spurious calls when sequencing patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Paralogous genome sequences can also generate spurious calls when sequencing any tumor. We developed a BLAST-based algorithm, MAPEX, to identify and filt...
