ChopSticks – Tool to Improve Resolution of Homozygous Deletion Calls

ChopSticks

:: DESCRIPTION

ChopSticks can generate high-resolution deletion calls of homozygous deletions using information independent of other methods, and it is therefore useful to examine the functional impact of SVs or to infer SV generation mechanisms.
