Detect somatic CNVs from WES/WGS/targeted BAMs (CNVkit v0.9.x). Bin coverage in target/antitarget regions, normalize vs reference, segment with CBS/HMM, call amps/dels, scatter/diagram plots, purity/ploidy, VCF/SEG export. CLI plus Python API (cnvlib). Use GATK CNV for deep WGS with population controls; use CNVkit for targeted/exome where antitarget bins matter.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CNVkit Copy Number Analysis

## Overview

CNVkit detects somatic copy number variants (CNVs) from whole-exome sequencing (WES), whole-genome sequencing (WGS), or targeted panel BAM files. It calculates read depth in both on-target (capture) bins and off-target (antitarget) bins, corrects for GC bias and library depth, segments the log2 copy ratio profile with circular binary segmentation (CBS) or a hidden Markov model (HMM), and calls amplifications and deletions. CNVkit provides both a CLI (`cnvkit.py`) and a Python API (`cnvlib`) for integration into analysis pipelines, and produces scatter plots, chromosome diagrams, heatmaps, and export files in VCF, BED, and SEG formats.

## When to Use

- Calling somatic copy number variants from tumor-normal paired exome (WES) or targeted panel sequencing
- Detecting copy number alterations in tumor-only samples using a pooled normal reference
- Running CNV analysis on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data with the `--method wgs` mode
- Estimating tumor purity and ploidy for samples where purity is unknown, to interpret copy ratio calls
- Generating SEG format copy number files for GISTIC2, cBioPortal, or IGV visualization

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/cnvkit-copy-number@sha256:d6b0c34985711ee6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.7a7d60f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
