Hi,

At the least if you have a test and a control sample (BAM), then you can try Galaxy. Its a website with all sorts of tools for genomic data manipulation, but without needing to use programming/ command-line tools. You would need to upload your files there, of course. There is sufficient documentation available for you to get going. An important point to keep in mind is that not every tool available for a given task would be available. For comparatively common tasks more tools are available, as compared to more niche areas. Having said that, a quick search tells me that ExomeDepth is available. If you are ready to invest some time, then this can get you started.
