An assessment of bioinformatics tools for the detection of human endogenous retroviral insertions in short-read genome sequencing data
2022-02-20
Abstract excerpt
There is a growing interest in the study of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) given the substantial body of evidence that implicates them in many human diseases. Although their genomic characterization presents numerous technical challenges, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shown potential to detect HERV insertions and their polymorphisms in humans, and a number of computational tools to detect them in sho...
