CNVs

This video by Dr. Howrigan explains copy number variation: what is a copy number variant, and how is it detected in genetic data. Additionally, examples of CNV analyses demonstrate what a CNV file format looks like, as well as output from CNV analyses, and how to perform CNV burden and association testing on that data.
