Vecuum is a Java based variant caller designed for detecting contamination-induced point mutations from hybrid-capture-based genome sequencing data (e.g. WGS, WES, targeted capture, etc). Vecuum is specialized for identifying false variants caused by recombinant vector contamination, however, can be applied to detect spurious calls for various external contaminants such as xenogeneic genomes, mRNA (cDNA) libraries, or even pseudogenes.
The important features of Vecuum are:

• Estimation of the genomic location of vector-contaminated regions
• Identification of false variants originated from vector inserts

Project Samples
