The RDXplorer (Read Depth eXplorer) [1] is a computational tool for copy number variants (CNV) detection in whole human genome sequence data using read depth (RD) coverage. CNV detection is based on the Event-Wise Testing (EWT) algorithm recently published by our group ([2]). The read depth coverage is estimated in non-overlapping intervals (100bp Windows) across an individual genome based on the pileup generated by SAMTools.
