github.com - The variantcalling.nf nextflow script will take any number of samples with paired-end reads in FASTQ format, map reads using Bowtie2, process BAM files, and finally call variants using BCFtools v1.21 and/or Freebayes v1.3.6. If part of the...

github.com - MALVA is able to genotype multi-allelic SNPs and indels without mapping reads MALVA calls correctly more indels than the most widely adopted genotyping pipelines Mapping-free approaches are as accurate as alignment-based ones, while being...

The scientists established some guidelines for determining whether a variant is a legitimate branch of an existing lineage:

github.com - VcfR is an R package intended to allow easy manipulation and visualization of variant call format (VCF) data. Functions are provided to rapidly read from and write to VCF files. Once VCF data is read into R a parser function extracts matrices from...

github.com - Merfin, a k-mer based variant-filtering algorithm for improved accuracy in genotyping and genome assembly polishing. Merfin evaluates each variant based on the expected k-mer multiplicity in the reads, independently of the quality of the...
