Abstract:Background
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is commonly used for SNP discovery in the coding regions of the human genome and has a wide range of clinical applications. Being an intensive time-consuming task, automation is key to uncomplicating and performing straightforward data analysis.
Method
The WEAP workflow starts with the alignment of FASTQ files to a reference genome, variant calling, and annotation without user intervention. WEAP utilizes the GATK workflow incorporating popular NGS analysis tools such a… Show more
