The Copy Number Variant Detection tool

To run the Copy Number Variant Detection tool, go to:

        Toolbox | Resequencing Analysis (Image resequencing) | Copy Number Variant Detection (Image cnv_detection5_16_n_p)

Select the case read mapping and click Next.

You are now presented with choices regarding the data to use in the CNV prediction method, as shown in figure 28.22.

Click Next to set the parameters related to the target-level and region-level CNV detection, as shown in as shown in figure 28.23.

Clicking Next, you are presented with options about the results (see figure 28.24). In this step, you can choose to create an algorithm report by checking the Create algorithm report box. Furthermore, you can choose to output results for every target in your input, by checking the Create target-level CNV track box.
