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 - Parliament2 identifies structural variants in a given sample relative to a reference genome. These structural variants cover large deletion events that are called as Deletions of a region, Insertions of a sequence into a region, Duplications of a...

github.com - Minda is a tool for evaluating structural variant (SV) callers that standardizes VCF records for compatibility with both germline and somatic SV callers, benchmarks against a single VCF input file, or benchmarks against an ensemble call set...

github.com - Severus is a somatic structural variation (SV) caller for long reads (both PacBio and ONT). It is designed for matching tumor/normal analysis, supports multiple tumor samples, and produces accurate and complete somatic and germline calls. Severus...
