GeneToCN: an alignment-free method for gene copy number estimation directly from next-generation sequencing reads
Abstract Genomes exhibit large regions with segmental copy number variation, many of which include entire genes and are multiallelic. We have developed a computational method GeneToCN that counts the frequencies of gene-specific k-mers in FASTQ files and uses this information to infer copy number of...
