Gilissen: Compared their list of de novo mutations to Univ Wash 6k exome database, and calculated rare non-syn mutation rates #ESHG14
12:02pm May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite
Gilissen: 79 de novo cp to 84 (WES n=100 cp to WGS n=50). Plotting different de novo per individual: theirs is much higher rate #ESHG14
11:59am May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite
Gilissen: The same were found - 16/18 from WES cp to WGS; one was mosaic (30% present), another failed #ESHG14
11:58am May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite
Gilissen: From de novo muts: systematic validation (overall 38% validation), 84 de novo SNV's identified. Cp to WES 12% validated #ESHG14
