VarGenius-HZD allows accurate detection of rare homozygous or hemizygous deletions in targeted sequencing leveraging breadth of coverage

2021-06-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Motivation</h4> Homozygous deletions (HDs) may be the cause of rare diseases and cancer and their discovery in targeted sequencing is a challenging task. Different tools have been developed to disentangle HD discovery but a sensitive caller is still lacking. <h4>Results</h4> We present VarGenius-HZD, a sensitive and scalable algorithm that leverages breadth-of-coverage for the detection of rare homozygous an...
