POLYmorphism and de novo MUTaTion call in families with sequencing data
The program polymutt implemented a likelihood-based framework for calling single nucleotide variants and detecting de novo point mutation events in families for next-generation sequencing data. The program takes as input genotype likelihood format (GLF) files which can be generated following the Creation of GLF files instruction and outputs the result in the [VCF] format. The variant calling and de novo mutation detection are modelled jointly within families and can handle both nuclear and extended pedigrees without consanguinity loops. The input is a set of GLF files for each of family members and the relationships are specified through the .ped file.
