Table 2. Sensitivity and false positive rates on the validation set.

  Academic PGM pipeline NextGene pipeline (v2.3)
  Sensitivity False-positive rate Sensitivity False-positive rate
Number of expected SNVs=66 98.5% (65 detected) 1.5% (1 false positive) 100% (66 detected) 0% (no false positives)
Number of expected indels=9 77.8% (7 detected) 30% (3 false positives) 100% (9 detected) 87.7% (64 false positives)

Sensitivity was calculated as follows: (number of true positives/(number of true positives+number of false negatives)). Specificity was estimated by the using the false-positive rate calculated as follows: (number of false positives/(number of false positives+number of true positives)), see text for details.
