Variant Calling Accuracy Across Tumor Purity Levels

July 2025 | Simulated/Clinical Mix | Azure D16as v5

Evaluates concordance, sensitivity, and cost efficiency for three leading variant callers operating on low-purity oncology samples.

  • Focus: Balancing recall with false positive control below 20% purity.
  • Method: Ground-truth spike-ins, reproducible workflows, and transparent QC thresholds.
  • Result: Recommended ensemble approach that improved recall by 14% without exceeding budget guardrails.
