EXCAVATOR-tool

ATTENTION!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!
We recently published on BMC Genomics a novel software package, named XCAVATOR, for the identification of CNVs/CNAs from short and long reads whole-genome sequencing experiments (https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-017-4137-0).
XCAVATOR is freely available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcavator/.


EXCAVATOR is a novel software package for the detection of copy number variants (CNVs) from whole-exome sequencing data.
EXCAVATOR has been published on Genome Biology (http://genomebiology.com/2013/14/10/R120/abstract).
