  • Using trios: https://github.com/sbg/geck
  • Ococo
    • Variant calling is performed in a streaming fashion, with evidence for variation being updated from each read as it is mapped. Theoretically, new evidence can be ignored once the confidence level reaches a certain threshold. In practice, they show this is about 10% of reads. However, they only deal with SNPs. It would be interesting to investigate whether:
    • This can be extended to somatic variant calling
    • This can work with rare variants (eg cfDNA)
