Evaluating the performance of low-frequency variant calling tools for the detection of variants from short-read deep sequencing data

Abstract Detection of low-frequency variants with high accuracy plays an important role in biomedical research and clinical practice. However, it is challenging to do so with next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches due to the high error rates of NGS. To accurately distinguish low-level true vari...
