We present DeNovoGear software for analyzing de novo mutations from familial and somatic
tissue sequencing data. DeNovoGear uses likelihood-based error modeling to reduce the
false positive rate of mutation discovery in exome analysis and fragment information to
identify the parental origin of germ-line mutations. We used DeNovoGear on human whole-
genome sequencing data to produce a set of predicted de novo insertion and/or deletion
(indel) mutations with a 95% validation rate.
