Test-drive the GATK tools and Best Practices pipelines on Terra
Check out this blog post to learn how you can get started with GATK and try out the pipelines in preconfigured workspaces (with a user-friendly interface!) without having to install anything.
Attention:
We will be out of the office for a Broad Institute event from Dec 10th to Dec 11th 2019. We will be back to monitor the GATK forum on Dec 12th 2019. In the meantime we encourage you to help out other community members with their queries.
Thank you for your patience!

Is there a paper describing the »Haplotype Caller algorithm?

Hi,
I'd like to ask you if there is a paper describing the Haplotype Caller algorithm, if you could please send me the reference. I have tried to find it, but I only found the paper on GATK which is great, but it doesn't describe in detail the Haplotype Caller algorithm.
thank you,

We are working on a manuscript to publish the Hc algorithm. In the meantime, check out the HC documentation here: https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/article?id=4148
Has the paper published?
Not yet, finishing up the last details.
Has this paper been published. If so could you possibly point me to it please.
No, sorry. We decided to add an analysis to make it more complete, and that's still in progress.
Is there anywhere that you have got more of a detailed explanation of how HC calculates activity profiles and performs smoothing. I have read the explanation here https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/article?id=4147 but I just wanted to know a little more of the mathematical detail.

Hi,
No there is no more detailed document explaining the active region determination. The best thing is to look at the code.

Ok thanks I look forward to when the HC paper comes out.
Has the paper about algorithms used in Haplotype Caller published?If so could you give me a reference please.Thanks in advance.
@jesson
Hi,
No, there is no paper. You can either look at the code and/or reference the GATK forum.

Ok, thanks for the kind reply.
Hello,
Could you please help me with the paper, if it had been published?
Thanks
