As for what you call variations with, I'm not sure what's best. GATK and samtools pileup are commonly used. Just make sure that whatever tool you use does NOT reassemble or realign indel-containing reads, because it will probably do a worse job than BBMap's raw output.

If you are interested in indels, particularly very long deletions that are common in cancer, I recommend mapping with BBMap, which outperforms everything on indel accuracy. There's also a thread for it, here:

Looking for tools for calling snv and indel(Somatic Variant)
Dear expert,
I am working on exome-seq data.
Looking for tools for calling snv and indel(Somatic Variant) in matched tumor-normal samples. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
