GATK

Deep learning-based variant caller

BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed.

Bayesian haplotype-based polymorphism discovery and genotyping.

A C++ library for parsing and manipulating VCF files.

Deep-learning germline small-variant caller for long-read sequencing (PacBio HiFi/ONT) combining fast pileup calling with haplotype-resolved full-alignment calling; widely adopted as a standard in the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium production pipelines and PrecisionFDA truth challenges, with pre-trained models for multiple sequencing platforms, bioconda/Docker distribution, and a companion Clair-skills agent plugin for Claude Code/Codex (HKU-BAL, 394+ stars, BSD-3-Clause, actively maintained)

A polymorphic bayesian genotyping model with wide applicability.
