FamSeq
Variant calling on the basis of pedigree information
...FamSeq accommodates de novo mutations and can perform variant calling at chromosome X.
To accommodate variations in data complexity, FamSeq consists of three distinct implementations of the Mendelian genetic model: the Bayesian network algorithm, Elston-Stewart algorithm and Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. To make the software efficient and applicable to large families, we parallelized the Bayesian network algorithm that copes with pedigrees with inbreeding loops without losing calculation precision on an NVIDIA® graphics processing unit.
