CNValidatron: accurate and efficient validation of PennCNV calls using computer vision

Visual inspection is the only effective validation approach for CNV calls. Our model is capable of automating this task at scale with very high accuracy, as shown by testing both within-sample and out-of-sample. The software is available as an R package at https://github.com/SinomeM/CNValidatron_fl .

Abstract

Visual inspection is the only effective validation approach for CNV calls. Our model is capable of automating this task at scale with very high accuracy, as shown by testing both within-sample and out-of-sample. The software is available as an R package at https://github.com/SinomeM/CNValidatron_fl .
