Question about CONTRA for CNV
Hi,
I'm really new to genome analysis and variant calling and I'm trying to use CONTRA to find the CNV from my real data (from a lab).
1) I noticed that CONTRA needs two .bam inputs (one for control and another for test). Why is that? Why do I need a control .bam? I think I only have a test .bam file from the lab.
2) It takes me about 1 hour to run the software and using my files (not the test files) I get an error message in the end. (I can post it after it stops running).
Can someone help me?
Thanks
