sideRETRO

a pipeline for identifying somatic and dimorphic insertions of processed pseudogenes or retrocopies. A pipeline for detecting Somatic Insertion of DE novo RETROcopies. sideRETRO is a bioinformatic tool devoted for the detection of somatic retrocopy insertion, also known as retroCNV, in whole genome and whole exome sequencing data (WGS, WES). The program has been written from scratch in C, and uses HTSlib and SQLite3 libraries, in order to manage SAM/BAM/CRAM reading and data analysis.
