A highly sensitive and specific workflow for detecting rare copy-number variants from exome sequencing data
Abstract Background Exome sequencing (ES) is a first-tier diagnostic test for many suspected Mendelian disorders. While it is routine to detect small sequence variants, it is not a standard practice in clinical settings to detect germline copy-number variants (CNVs) from ES data due to several reaso...
