VisCap

For inference and visualization of germline copy number variants (CNVs) from targeted NGS data.

Description: VisCap is a copy number detection and visualization tool written in R (www.r-project.org) for analysis of next-generation sequencing data derived from hybrid-capture experiments. It requires installation of the R libraries "gplots", "zoo", and “cluster”. We reported validation of this algorithm for detection of germline variation in Genetics in Medicine:
