SAAS-CNV is a tool to identify somatic copy number variation (CNV) in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The SAAS-CNV algorithm consists of four main steps: (1) reading a reference and alleles at each locus for comparison of the read depth and alleles with tumor and healthy samples, (2) joint segmentation on the two signals, (3) correction of the CNV baseline, (4) calling of somatic CNVs for all detected signals.
