Duplex-Indel: a Snakemake pipeline for somatic Indel calling in Tn5 transposase-based duplex sequencing data

SUMMARY: Duplex-Indel is a novel Snakemake workflow for detecting somatic small insertions and deletions (Indels) from Tn5 transposase-based duplex sequencing data. Duplex-Indel enhances the accuracy of mutation calling at the single-molecule level by requiring consensus support from both DNA strands for each somatic Indel, minimizing confounding from technical artifacts. Duplex-Indel extends somatic mutation calling in Tn5 transposase-based duplex sequencing data to include Indels. We have demonstrated the accuracy and robustness of Duplex-Indel using cancer cell lines.
