fitGCP
Fitting genome coverage distributions with mixture models
...While the average genome coverage is frequently used within algorithms in computational
genomics, the complete information available in coverage profiles (i.e. histograms over all coverages) is currently not exploited to its full extent. Thus, biases such as fragmented or erroneous reference
genomes often remain unaccounted for. Making this information accessible can improve the quality of sequencing experiments and quantitative analyses.
fitGCP is a framework for fitting mixtures of probability distributions to genome coverage profiles. Besides commonly used distributions, fitGCP uses distributions tailored to account for
common artifacts. ...
