WhatsHap: fast and accurate read-based phasing

Marcel Martin, Murray Patterson, Shilpa Garg, Sarah O. Fischer, Nadia Pisanti, Gunnar W. Klau, Alexander Schönhuth, Tobias Marschall

Re-aligning reads to both alleles gives WhatsHap the lowest PacBio switch error rates (full coverage: 0.24% real, 0.02% simulated) and better indel phasing than hapCUT and phASER.
