This page describes some basic file formats, convenience functions and analysis options for rare copy number variant (CNV) data. Support for common copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) is described here . Copy number variants are represented as segments .
PennCNV: copy number variation detection Welcome! PennCNV is a free software tool for Copy Number Variation (CNV) detection from SNP genotyping arrays.
The Genome Analysis Toolkit or GATK is a software package developed at the Broad Institute to analyse next-generation resequencing data. The toolkit offers a wide variety of tools, with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping as well as strong emphasis on data quality assurance.
Assembly This release is based on the NCBI 36 assembly of the human genome [November 2005]. The data consists of a reference assembly of the complete genome plus the Celera WGS and a number of alternative assemblies of individual haplotypic chromosomes or regions.
