Context

Using the DeepSomatic tool for variant identification.

What it does and when to use it

This checklist outlines the core steps involved in using DeepSomatic. It includes preparing sequencing data, processing it through the AI model, and interpreting the output to identify cancer-specific genetic mutations.

Why it works

The steps reflect the described process of DeepSomatic: data transformation, neural network analysis for differentiation, error filtering, and final variant identification.

When not to use it

This is a specific workflow for DeepSomatic and not a general data analysis process.
