AluScanCNV2

An R package AluScanCNV2 is based on the previously developed AluScanCNV tool. This tool is specifically designed for copy number variation (CNV) calling from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and for germline CNV-based cancer risk prediction. It uses Geary-Hinkley transformation (GHT)-based comparison of the read-depth.
