• Filters SNVs from any variant caller to remove false positives
• Calculates metrics based on BAM files and provides filtering not possible with other tools
• Fully user-configurable filtering (including which filters to use and their thresholds)
• Option to use filters identical to ICGC recommendations

FiNGS provides researchers with a tool to reproducibly filter somatic variants that is simple to both deploy and use, with filters and thresholds that are fully configurable by the user. It ingests and emits standard variant call format (VCF) files and will slot into existing sequencing pipelines. It allows users to develop and implement their own filtering strategies and simple sharing of these with others.

FiNGS reliably improves upon the precision of default variant caller outputs and performs better than other tools designed for the same task.
