METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COPY NUMBER VARIANT DETECTION

摘要

Methods and systems for determining copy number variants are disclosed. An example method can comprise applying a sample grouping technique to select reference coverage data, normalizing sample coverage data comprising a plurality of genomic regions, and fitting a mixture model to the normalized sample coverage data based on the selected reference coverage data. An example method can comprise identifying one or more copy number variants (CNVs) according to a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on the normalized sample coverage data and the fitted mixture model. An example method can comprise outputting the one or more copy number variants.
