A tool for detection of copy number variation (CNV) in whole-genome exome data from paired or healthy tumor samples. The ADTex algorithm uses Hidden Markov Models (HMM) to predict CNV counts, genotypes, polyploidy, aneuploidy, cell contamination, and baseline shifts. The authors originally named ADTex to CoNVEX, but they changed the name because of the conflict with another tool.
