Abstract excerpt
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies play a pivotal role in studying the genetic underpinnings of human diseases and traits. High quality and reproducible variant calling is the cornerstone for the success of downstream analyses, including WGS association studies and polygenic risk prediction. This paper compares the data quality, performance, and concordance of two widely used WGS variant callers, the Genome...
