Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to bioinformatics, in particular to a method and a device for detecting tumor somatic cell mutation sites. Background technique
[0002] Somatic mutations refer to mutations that occur in somatic cells other than sex cells and are generally not passed on to offspring. Genome instability promotes the accumulation of somatic mutations in cells, some of which further drive cancer development. Detection of somatic mutations in tumor cells, especially tumor driver mutations, is an important means to analyze the occurrence and development of tumors, and can provide an important basis for precise treatment of tumor patients.
[0003] At present, commonly used software for finding tumor somatic mutations, such as Varscan, GATK, SomaticSniper and other software, generates a large number of false positive mutations in the vcf file. How to filter out false positive sites from the original vcf file has always been a challenge. Challenges th...
