Customized de novo mutation detection for any variant calling pipeline: SynthDNM
2021
MotivationAs sequencing technologies and analysis pipelines evolve, DNM calling tools must be adapted. Therefore, a flexible approach is needed that can accurately identify de novo mutations from genome or exome sequences from a variety of datasets and variant calling pipelines. ResultsHere, we describe SynthDNM, a random-forest based classifier that can be readily adapted to new sequencing or variant-calling pipelines by applying a flexible approach to constructing simulated training examples from real data. The optimized SynthDNM classifiers predict de novo SNPs and indels with robust accuracy across multiple methods of variant calling.
