Package: FilterFFPE Type: Package Title: FFPE Artificial Chimeric Read Filter for NGS data Version: 1.23.0 Authors@R: person("Lanying", "Wei", email="lanying.wei@uni-muenster.de", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-4281-8017")) Description: This package finds and filters artificial chimeric reads specifically generated in next-generation sequencing (NGS) process of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. These artificial chimeric reads can lead to a large number of false positive structural variation (SV) calls. The required input is an indexed BAM file of a FFPE sample.
