FilterFFPE-package: FFPE Artificial Chimeric Read Filter for NGS data

Description Details Author(s) See Also Examples

Description

This package finds and filters artificial chimeric reads specifically generated in next-generation sequencing (NGS) process of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. These artificial chimeric reads can lead to a large number of false positive structural variation (SV) calls. The required input is an indexed BAM file of a FFPE sample.

Details

This package was not yet installed at build time.
The next-generation sequencing (NGS) reads from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples contain numerous artifact chimeric reads, which can lead to a large number of false positive structural variation (SV) calls. This package finds and filters these artifact chimeric reads from BAM files of FFPE samples to improve SV calling performance.

Index: This package was not yet installed at build time.
There are three available functions to find and/or filter artifact chimeric reads of FFPE samples:

1. findArtifactChimericReads: Find artifact chimeric reads in BAM file of FFPE sample.

2. filterBamByReadNames: Filter reads from BAM file by read names.

3. FFPEReadFilter: Find and filter artifact chimeric reads in BAM file of FFPE sample.
