<h4>Motivation</h4>Detection of somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) using high-throughput sequencing has become popular because of rapid developments in sequencing technology. Existing methods do not perform well in calling SCNAs for the unstable tumor genomes.<h4>Results</h4>We developed a new method, DEFOR, to detect SCNAs in tumor samples from exome-sequencing data. The evaluation showed that DEFOR has a higher accuracy for SCNA detection from exome sequencing compared with the five exist ...[more]
