-
-VarScan_ performs variant detection for massively parallel sequencing data, such as exome, WGS, and transcriptome data.
-It calls variants from a mpileup dataset and produces a VCF 4.1. Full documentation is available online_.
-
-This tool estimates the relative tumor copy number from tumor-normal pileups.
