TY - JOUR T1 - QuicK-mer: A rapid paralog sensitive CNV detection pipeline JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/028225 SP - 028225 AU - Feichen Shen AU - Jeffrey Kidd Y1 - 2015/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/10/02/028225.abstract N2 - QuicK-mer is a unified pipeline for estimating genome copy-number from high-throughput Illumina sequencing data. QuicK-mer utilizes the Jellyfish application to efficiently tabulate counts of predefined sets of k-mers. The program performs GC-normalization using defined control regions and reports paralog-specific estimates of copy-number suitable for downstream analysis.
