non- repeated regions. If a segment is deleted, on the other hand, there will be
no read coverage for it (see Figure 10.6, panel A). These RD- based algorithms
include CNVnator [81], CNV- seq [82], CNVkit [83], cn.MOPS (Copy
Number estimation by a Mixture of PoissonS) [84], CNAseg [85], ERDS [86],
RDXplorer (Read Depth eXplorer) [87], Control- FREEC [88], mrFAST [89],
SegSeq [90], readDepth [91], Canvas [92], and iCopyDAV [93]. Among these
algorithms, CNVnator, built on the use of a mean- shift approach originally
designed for image processing, is one of the most commonly used. As factors
such as GC ...
