3. When reporting a problem, include tool and Java versions.
4. Tell us whether you are following GATK Best Practices.
5. Include relevant details, e.g. platform, DNA- or RNA-Seq, WES (+capture kit) or WGS (PCR-free or PCR+), paired- or single-end, read length, expected average coverage, somatic data, etc.
6. For tool errors, include the error stacktrace as well as the exact command.
7. For format issues, include the result of running ValidateSamFile for BAMs or ValidateVariants for VCFs.
8. For weird results, include an illustrative example, e.g. attach IGV screenshots according to Article#5484.

Did we ask for a bug report?

Then follow instructions in Article#1894.

Did we give you a GitHub issue to track?

Formatting tip!

Wrap blocks of code, error messages and BAM/VCF snippets--especially content with hashes (#)--with lines with three backticks ( ``` ) each to make a code block as demonstrated here.

The brand new 4.0 version of the GATK was released -- at long last! -- on Tuesday Jan 9, 2018.

In lieu of our traditional version highlights, for this release we have collected the following resources:

GATK4 launch page on the GATK website: Summarizes key features and links to resources
Broad Institute press release and GenomeWeb story on GATK4: Key features and importance for the field/industry
Intel blog post on GATK4: Discusses the optimization work of the Intel-Broad Center for Genomic Data Engineering around GATK4
The video of our live launch event, which will also be uploaded to YouTube in the next few days

Coming soon: The GATK4 migration guide will detail the key differences at the level of tools and command lines that you should watch out for when you upgrade to using GATK4 in your own work.
