About Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK)
Developed in the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute, the toolkit offers a wide variety of tools with a primary focus on variant discovery and genotyping. Its powerful processing engine and high-performance computing features make it capable of taking on projects of any size. The GATK is the industry standard for identifying SNPs and indels in germline DNA and RNAseq data. Its scope is now expanding to include somatic short variant calling and to tackle copy number (CNV) and structural variation (SV). In addition to the variant callers themselves, the GATK also includes many utilities to perform related tasks such as processing and quality control of high-throughput sequencing data and bundles the popular Picard toolkit. These tools were primarily designed to process exomes and whole genomes generated with Illumina sequencing technology, but they can be adapted to handle a variety of other technologies and experimental designs.

VarSeq
Simple, fast, and repeatable variant analysis software for gene panels, exomes, and whole genomes. VarSeq is an intuitive, integrated software solution for tertiary analysis. With VarSeq you can automate your workflows and analyze variants for gene panels, exomes, and whole genomes. Understanding genomic data has never been easier thanks to our software. VarSeq software provides a powerful filtering and annotation engine to sift through large variant data sets. Using a chain of filters, you can quickly narrow your list of variants down to those that are most likely to be of interest. After determining the parameters that work well for your analysis, you can save the state of your filters so that you can easily apply the same analysis to another dataset. The same automated workflow can be used for each batch of samples, making VarSeq an ideal solution for high-throughput environments. Real-time filtering gives you the power to quickly prototype and tune analysis workflows.
