HaploTypo: a variant-calling pipeline for phased genomes

Abstract

Abstract Summary An increasing number of phased (i.e. with resolved haplotypes) reference genomes are available. However, the most genetic variant calling tools do not explicitly account for haplotype structure. Here, we present HaploTypo, a pipeline tailored to resolve haplotypes in genetic variation analyses. HaploTypo infers the haplotype correspondence for each heterozygous variant called on a phased reference genome. Availability and implementation HaploTypo is implemented in Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, and is freely available at https://github.com/gabaldonlab/haplotypo, and as a Docker image. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
