Somatic variant analysis of linked-reads sequencing data with Lancet

Summary We present a new version of the popular somatic variant caller, Lancet, that supports the analysis of linked-reads sequencing data. By seamlessly integrating barcodes and haplotype read assignments within the colored De Bruijn graph local-assembly framework, Lancet computes a barcode-aware coverage and identifies variants that disagree with the local haplotype structure.Availability and Implementation Lancet is implemented in C++ and is available for academic and non-commercial research purposes as an open-source package at https://github.com/nygenome/lancet.Contact gnarzisi{at}nygenome.orgCompeting Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.View Full Text
