AutoMap is a high performance homozygosity mapping tool using next-generation sequencing data

Homozygosity mapping is a useful tool for identifying candidate mutations in recessive conditions, however application to next generation sequencing data has been sub-optimal. Here, the authors present AutoMap, which efficiently identifies runs of homozygosity in whole exome/genome sequencing data.
