I know Quiver and GATK have been bundled in SMRT pipeline to call variants (the GATK module only finds SNPs though). I'm wondering if there are other tool(s) that can be used for this purpose, especially to find large indels. Thanks.

I have an unsupported version of BLASR that does better alignment across large gaps. I have used this to simply count indel variants (really mobile element insertion) using PacBio reads. PM me if you want access to this; I've been hesitant to post it online since it is on a branch that is not updated with bug fixes, etc.. The unsupported version uses an affine alignment penalty. Without this, bases tend to "bleed" out into gaps and make it difficult to call exactly where a gap is.

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
