Best Practices For Variant Calling With The GATK
The presentations below were filmed during the 2012 GATK Workshop, part of the BroadE Workshop series. The GATK Workshop covered the core steps involved in calling variants with the Broad’s Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), using the “Best Practices” developed by the GATK team.
Workshop topics included the importance of each step to the calling process, the key operations performed on the data at each step, and how to use the GATK tools to get the most accurate and reliable results out of a dataset.
