Summary: Breakway is a suite of programs that take aligned genomic data and report structural variation breakpoints.
"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.
Software 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.
