MentaLiST v0.2.5 – A fast MLST caller for large MLST schemes

MentaLiST v0.2.5

:: DESCRIPTION

MLST (multi-locus Sequence Typing) is a classic technique for genotyping bacteria, widely applied for pathogen outbreak surveillance.

MentaLiST is a new MLST caller, based on a k-mer counting algorithm and written in the Julia language, specifically designed and implemented to handle large typing schemes.

bam2mpg 1.0.1 – Bayesian Genotype Caller for NextGen Sequencing Data

bam2mpg 1.0.1

:: DESCRIPTION

bam2mpg calls genotypes from sequence reads of haploid or diploid DNA aligned to a closely-related reference sequence. The program reads alignments in BAM format (http://samtools.sourceforge.net). The MPG (Most Probable Genotype) algorithm is based on a Bayesian model which simulates sampling from one or two alleles with sequencing error, and then calculates the likelihood of each possible genotype given the observed sequence data. Using prior probabilities dependent on the expected heterozygosity of the sequence, MPG then predicts the “Most Probable Genotype” at each site, along with quality scores estimating the accuracy of the calls.

VarScan 2.4.0 – Variant Caller for Short Sequence Reads

VarScan 2.4.0

:: DESCRIPTION

VarScan is a platform-independent, technology-independent software tool for identifying SNPs and indels in massively parallel sequencing of individual and pooled samples. Given data for a single sample, VarScan identifies and filters germline variants based on read counts, base quality, and allele frequencyh. Given data for a tumor-normal pair, VarScan also determines the somatic status of each variant (Germline, Somatic, or LOH) by comparing read counts between samples.
