Low-level variant calling for non-matched samples using a position-based and nucleotide-specific approach

Abstract Background The widespread use of next-generation sequencing has identified an important role for somatic mosaicism in many diseases. However, detecting low-level mosaic variants from next-generation sequencing data remains challenging. Results Here, we present a method for Position-Based Va...
