Abstract

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.AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Source code and documentation are available under the MIT license on GitHub at and archived on Zenodo at .SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
