DECA

DECA

A tool to call copy-number variation (CNV) with ADAM and Apache Spark. The DECA algorithm implements XHMM, including new optimizations, to speed up the computation. It also uses the Viterbi algorithm in logs space and scaled versions of the forward and backward algorithms. Requires: Maven, Spark 2.1.0+, Hadoop 2.7, Scala 2.11.

Topic
