To develop and evaluate CANOES, a statistical method for identifying rare copy number variants using whole exome sequencing data.
Modeled sequencing read counts via a negative binomial distribution and estimated variance using a regression framework based on reference samples.
Evaluated performance against Gaussian approximation algorithms using a family-based trio exome sequencing dataset.
Demonstrated sensitivity and specificity levels comparable to the established tool XHMM.
Provided complementary detection to Gaussian-based tools, yielding a substantially reduced and more realistic de novo mutation rate when combined in trio analyses.
