Improved specificity in detecting de novo insertions. A three-way comparison of novel Alu insertion polymorphisms in the YRI trio: when they are predicted separately (A), and when the reads from three individuals are pooled together (B). Pooled coverage reduces the number of false-positive de novo events for further consideration.
