The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The GATK suite is pretty standard for calling germline mutations. Somatic mutation calling is a lot newer/trickier, so I'm just going to link to the GDC's practices.
Generally, you have multiple ways to tackle this kind of a problem. For short read sequencing you have two types of CNV detection - readdepth based and paired-end based. CNVpytor (CNVnator) for example, is the former. You also have manta and lumpy. A lot of good pipelines use more than one SV caller and integrate them.
