piCALL (RRID:SCR_001242) | piCALL | software resource | Software to detect short insertion / deletion variants (and SNPs) from population sequence data, i.e. sequence reads generated from a population of individuals. It uses a probabilistic model to utilize sequence reads from a population of individuals to automatically account for context-specific sequencing errors associated with indels. piCALL is implemented in C for use on Linux platforms and can be applied to sequence data from different sequencing platforms. However, the method requires each individual in a dataset to be sequenced using the same platform. The reads for each individual should be aligned to the same reference genome sequence. Note that the program will not be able to call indels from individual sequence datasets or data from a small number of individuals. | c, genotyping, indel, population, high-throughput sequencing, insertion, deletion, variant, single nucleotide polymorphism, linux, bio.tools |
