ERDS

ERDS

ERDS a tool for detection of copy number variants (CNVs) on human genomes in next-generation sequencing data. The approach is based on paired Hidden Markov models (PHMM) and on the expected distribution of read depth detected by heterozygous sites. ERDS is NOT a good choice for the analysis of exome data.
The Author is no longer maintaining the package, but the source code is available.
