CANVAS¶

Description¶

Canvas is a tool for calling copy number variants (CNVs) from human DNA sequencing data. It can work either with germline data, or paired tumor/normal samples. Its primary input is aligned reads (in .bam format), and its primary output is a report (in a .vcf file) giving the copy number status of the genome.

Environment Modules¶

Run module spider canvas to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

Environment Variables¶

HPC_CANVAS_DIR - installation directory
HPC_CANVAS_BIN - executable directory
