Technical spotlight: Detecting small- and medium-length copy number variants by whole-genome sequencing

Historically, detecting different sizes of genetic variants has required using multiple different tests. By combining Illumina WGS with secondary analysis algorithms built into the DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform, researchers can achieve high-sensitivity detection of all these different variant types using a mixture of methods described here.
