MSIsensor-pro

Fast, accurate and matched-normal-sample-free detection of microsatellite instability. MSIsensor-pro is an updated version of msisensor. MSIsensor-pro evaluates Microsatellite Instability (MSI) for cancer patients with next generation sequencing data. It accepts the whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing and target region (panel) sequencing data as input. MSIsensor-pro introduces a multinomial distribution model to quantify polymerase slippages for each tumor sample and a discriminative sites selection method to enable MSI detection without matched normal samples.
