GATK 4.2.2.0

:: DESCRIPTION

GATK (The Genome Analysis Toolkit) is a structured programming framework designed to enable the rapid development of efficient and robust analysis tools for next-generation DNA sequencers. The GATK solves the data management challenge by separating data access patterns from analysis algorithms, using the functional programming philosophy of Map/Reduce. Since the GATK’s traversal engine encapsulates the complexity of efficiently accessing the next-generation sequencing data, researchers and developers are free to focus on their specific analysis algorithms. This not only vastly improves the productivity of developers, who can quickly write new analyses, but also results in tools that are efficient and robust, and can benefit from improvements to a common data management engine.
