Detection and quantification of mitochondrial DNA deletions from next-generation sequence data

Abstract Background Chromosomal deletions represent an important class of human genetic variation. Various methods have been developed to mine “next-generation” sequencing (NGS) data to detect deletions and quantify their clonal abundances. These methods have focused almost exclusively on the nuclea...
