Novel metrics to measure coverage in whole exome sequencing datasets reveal local and global non-uniformity

Abstract Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a powerful clinical diagnostic tool for discovering the genetic basis of many diseases. A major shortcoming of WES is uneven coverage of sequence reads over the exome targets contributing to many low coverage regions, which hinders accurate variant calling. I...
