Summary: Breakway is a suite of programs that take aligned genomic data and report structural variation breakpoints. Features include:

  • Takes in BAM formatted input, the current standard for genomic alignments.
  • Compatible with standard output from major alignment algorithms such as BFAST, BWA, MAQ, et cetera.
  • Capable of analyzing data from any major platform--Solexa, SOLiD, 454, et cetera.
  • Empirically identifies structural variation breakpoints.
  • Highly specific analysis generates very few false positives.
  • Includes a suite of downstream tools for annotating identified breakpoints and reducing false positives.
