Supported Tool

Variant Discovery in High-Throughput Sequencing Data

Description

Developed by the Data Science and Data Engineering group at the Broad Institute, the GATK toolkit offers a wide variety of tools with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping. Its powerful processing engine and high-performance computing features make it capable of taking on projects of any size.

Supported tools:

  • BaseRecalibrator
  • VariantEval

BaseRecalibrator

BaseRecalibrator is a tool for detecting systematic errors in read base quality scores of aligned high-throughput sequencing reads. It outputs a base quality score recalibration table that can be used in conjunction with the PrintReads tool to recalibrate base quality scores.

VariantEval

VariantEval is a general-purpose tool for variant evaluation. It gives information about percentage of variants in dbSNP, genotype concordance, Ti/Tv ratios and a lot more.
