GATK is a Windows software for analyzing genome sequences. There are instruments for variant quality score recalibration and annotation. Users can view detailed instructions and descriptions of best practices in the official documentation.

Main purpose

With the help of this program you are able to analyze complex genome sequences. The workflow includes several steps such as data pre processing, variant discovery and calibration.

Similar to Gene Designer, users can import and clean raw measurements to prepare them for analysis. After that it is necessary to identify and catalog common genes in the sequence.

Variant recalibration

There are advanced machine learning algorithms to help you calculate correct element quality scores based on known variants in the database. The application contains instruments for adding functional annotations and population frequencies as well.

It is possible to interact with GATK via the command line interface. This feature is helpful for automating routine tasks and quickly processing large databases. Users can easily scale operations by combining multiple computing systems into a cluster.
