Big panels, big challenges: CNV detection in Whole Exome Sequencing
WEBINAR DETAILS
About
While Whole Exome Sequencing has shown promise in becoming a first-tier tool for understanding rare genetic disorders, the identification of copy-number variations (CNVs) from large NGS datasets is still challenging. During this short webinar, one of our Data Science Experts will walk you through the challenges of NGS-based CNV detection, including inferring events from read coverage and managing sources of noise.
