EXCAVATOR2tool
Enhanced tool for detecting CNVs from whole-exome sequencing data
...We recently published on BMC Genomics a novel software package, named XCAVATOR, for the identification of CNVs/CNAs from short and long reads whole-genome sequencing experiments (https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-017-4137-0).
XCAVATOR is freely available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcavator/.
EXCAVATOR2 is a collection of bash, R and Fortran scripts and codes that analyses Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) data to identify CNVs. EXCAVATOR2 enhances the identification of all genomic CNVs, both overlapping and non-overlapping targeted exons by integrating the analysis of In-targets and Off- targets reads.
EXCAVATOR2 can be effectively employed for the identification of CNVs in small as well as large-scale re-sequencing population and cancer studies.
