Octopus

  • Description

    Octopus is a mapping-based variant caller that implements several calling models within a unified haplotype-aware framework. Octopus takes inspiration from particle filtering by constructing a tree of haplotypes and dynamically pruning and extending the tree based on haplotype posterior probabilities in a sequential manner. This allows octopus to implicitly consider all possible haplotypes at a given loci in reasonable time.
